I lived in ISR last year, here are my thoughts.

Pros
-ISR is very quiet
-If you are not interested in drinking, it is not very hard to find people to hang out with.
-Great location, ISR is close to the main quad and engineering quad.
-Most of the students at ISR are in engineering, so you will fit in well.
-During the week, many people from outside dorms eat in ISR for lunch; it is a good way to meet other people.
-Air conditioning

Cons
-Lots of people in ISR stay in their rooms, so it may be difficult to make friends. However, the social life varies based on where you are in ISR. Wardall and the second floor of Townsend are more social than the rest of Townsend.
-The dining hall at ISR isn’t that great, and the food quickly gets old. You will have better food if you live at PAR, FAR, or the six pack.
