My son just got his housing assignment as Babcock Hall in PAR. This was not on his list of preferred housing that he submitted. Does anyone know anything about this dorm? He is an engineering major and it seems rather far from Campus, engineering quad, Green Street, etc. We haven’t found much information about it other than someone mentioned PAR is popular with international students. He is not international (white, out of state) but has a fair number of asian friends in high school; he wants to have a fairly active social life, but he is not much of a partier/bar kind of guy. His first preference for housing was the Innovation LLC Living Learning Community at ISR.

Can anyone tell us what Babcock/PAR/location is like and whether it is worth it to try to transfer to another dorm that is closer? Thanks for the info.
