From what I've heard, it is bad. They don't call it Scoronado for nothing. If I were you, I would request reassignment immediately.

Scoronado - University of Arizona - Epinions.com

A review, albeit a bit old. Has negatives and positives, and seems fairly unbiased.

I actually chose Coronado to live in (call me stupid, whatever). From the people similar to me that I've talked to, it isn't really as bad as some people would want you to believe.

I wanted a big dorm, as the social aspect is something I really wanted. I know it's not the newest, and doesn't have the "best" (very subjective term) reputation, but it seemed to have everything I was looking for.

My eventual decision came when I told myself - It isn't a lifetime commitment. It's 9 months. Good or bad, I'll walk away with something.

(I'm speaking from a guy's point of view. I'm sure a girl has different criteria for their living quarters.)

I heard that that was the dorm with the most STDs in the U.S. a few years back...

I don't see how that could be proved.

Ya, thats not true. Its impossible to know. Even if they poll everyone, people will lie. Its just like when we did drug surveys in high school. Most of us end up saying we smoke meth, cocaine, etc. even though we've never touched drugs in our lives.

Yeah, can't prove that, it's just the reputation. But still, it's pretty nasty from the kids i hear from....
