Everyone keeps saying that Porter is hippie full and whatnot, but what exactly is the modern hippie? Cause when I think hippie I'm thinking you know the old fashion hippie, witht the bandanna and the tie-dye shirts and all that stuff?

Banana - did you have any other reasons for choosing Stevenson? Was it close to your classes?

I like Merrill the best because it has alot of the amenities that I want such as music practice rooms. It is also in the main part of the campus and fairly close to everything.

I also liked Kresge because I thought it looked cool. Any thoughts? My top picks so far are Merrill, Porter, Stevenson. BTW, what floor did you choose at Stevenson? Are the dorms first come first serve? Thanks!

I was thinking about Porter, and got all the up to paying in my SIR when I started second guessing myself. I'm a pretty relaxed guy and I'm all for meeting people, listening to music, talking, drinking to coffee. But when it comes to massive parties, and drugs, it really isn't my scene. Is this just some over exaggeration that Porter has a lot of drugs in it? I think every college has a pretty good population of students that are constantly baked, is Porter that bad? If it really is....then I guess I'll go with 8, or Crown. Maybe Stevenson? AGH, frustration. haha

Any suggestions?
