Hey, I’m a current RPI freshman and I live in Barton Hall. Yep, it’s MUCH nicer than the other dorm halls. The rooms are large (even with 3 people living in it) and the air conditioning/heating systems are nice too. As for antisocial behavior, yes it exists. I have friends in my wing and whatnot, but from what I’ve seen, the other dorm halls are a bit more social. It’s not terrible though… there are still quite a bit of open doors. The only dorm hall I don’t like is BARH (Burdett Avenue Residence House). BARH is old, ugly, a bit off campus (only about 2 blocks from freshman hill, but it’s a pain to walk when the roads are icy in the winter).

And as for the speaker system suggestion… No. Please, no.
On the weekends I go to bed really late and I like to wake up around 2pm, but speaker systems playing at 11am prevent me from doing so.
