Really noisy? They're more social, so I guess people interact more. If you want a fortress of solitude for studying engineering and playing computer games and DDR, then go live in Hereford. lol.

old dorms>new dorms

Suite style dorms would be much better for upper class housing, in my opinion.

hereford is pretty rough because of the distance. I live in old dorms, but I'm always at new dorms, and personally I think both are very social. If you're really into frat/soror life then I'd choose old dorms, but I think new dorms are waaayyy better.
