Let's Play: "Pick My House"

I was debating with myself on whether or not this would be a lame thread to post but what the heck, let's do it anyway!
Okay, so I think the only concrete decision I have made regarding housing is that I don't want to live on Green Street (not that there is anything wrong with it). I like the idea of living in the Quad but it just seems sort of far away. Also I've heard from Smithies is that is generally the loudest part of campus, I don't know enough about it to say yay or nay.
I generally want something on Elm or Central campus, girls who are rowdy (but not all the time) with dining available without having to put shoes on. I generally want to live in an area where I wont miss a thing and where there is something going on nearby.
Right now I've narrowed it down to Haven/Wesley, Lamont, Northrop, Gillett, Chase and Capen (even though it's remoteness bothers me).So if you lovely people have any suggestions I would be glad to hear them.

Of your list, only Lamont, Northrop, Gillett, and Chase have dining, but Chase is also the senior house - I'm not sure you'd be able to live there as a transfer.
Haven is the house i planned on living in, and I think it's lovely. Though I ended up across the street in Cutter, which I hated when I found out, but have grown to love and am now house president. I say this only because we tend to have a high number of transfers and Adas in Cutter/Z, so you might find yourself among us next year.
