PAR is just sort of an average dorm. It’s not overly social, but it’s not typically quiet, either, because it receives many students who applied to the six pack as their first choice. It’s known for its excellent food. Yes, PAR is known for having many minorities, but that shouldn’t be concerning.

It’s far from the engineering quad, but unless your son is coming in with a boatload of AP or college credits, he probably will have very few classes out there… Most of them will likely be gen eds located around the main quad. Most former PAR residents I’ve spoken to have said the distance wasn’t really a problem… If your son is opposed to walking or riding a bike, there’s an active bus system that’s free to students.

If he’s really displeased with the assignment, feel free to try to put in a transfer request. Just know that the six pack and ISR will be receiving maaaany transfer requests. Those two will be almost impossible to get into.
