<p>EC does have the quiet halls too. The louder halls are just more visible. I mean we have a reputation of being the intellectuals too. We know how to play but we can settle down and work too. I like to think that EC is a group of people who aren’t afraid of being themselves. Honestly, I chose EC because it’s in the middle of campus. When it is freezing, snowing, windy, etc, I have less than 100 feet out in the cold. It is a 20 minute walk from Next.</p>
<p>There are negatives to EC though that you have mentioned. If you’re against seeing roaches and mice, EC might not be the place for you. Furthermore, at EC, you have to do your own cooking. There’s no cafeteria nearby that you can pay 6 bucks for a sandwich and not worry about food.</p>
<p>I tend to think of dorm row as a spectrum, the further west you go, the more clique high school, for example, Next with its extremely large percentage of freshmen, the further east you go, the odder you get, Senior and their pot smoking fun. On that note, if you can’t live in that environment, don’t put senior as one of your top 5 choices, you will get it and you wont get out. and Random is just not on the spectrum. Very nice people at Random, very very small freshman rooms and slightly in the middle of nowhere.</p>
<p>Sex life? EC has a rule of mind your own business, and we’ll mind ours, and ignore the random noises. Would you want me asking you how your sex life is?</p>
