There’s nothing you can really do at this point, save request a room change. You might get lucky, you might not.

Traditional dorms have closer knit communities, that’s for sure. Visit and check it out. If you truly hate it, talk to ResLife. They’re usually fairly accomodating… usually. Though if this year’s freshman class is overbooked like last year’s, then you’re probably out of luck.

Modern dorms past freshman year are usually just long hallways with closed doors. I lived in the South Forty House my junior year, and will be there again this upcoming year as a senior. I knew virtually none of the sophomores on my floor. No one really hangs out with their floormates after freshman year, so that might be a plus for a traditional dorm–you’ll have a close knit group of friends after freshman year.
