My daughter lived in Hullabaloo (on the northside) this last year and found many, many freshman engineering students in her dorm. These students studied together, sometimes, and she got accepted into both her engineering choices. She liked being close to the engineering buildings and Sbisa and, of course, the library. My older engineering student lived in McFadden/Lechner (honors dorms on the north side) and she liked that very much! Also, a lot of engineering students and study groups. All good choices.
