Hi, I will be attending Binghamton in the fall, and I am starting to think about housing. Thanks to anyone who can answer my questions!

I think I am going to put down Dickinson as my dorm of choice. I’m not that much of a party-person, and I got the impression that this was one of the quieter dorms. What can anyone tell me about Dickinson? How is its location with regards to classes? I know it’s old, but does that affect its quality as a living environment? Am I right about it not being as much of a party dorm as some of the other living areas?

Also, I’m kind of torn about whether to opt to live in a “Liviing Community” or not. It seems like a nice option, but I don’t know if I want to just surround myself with people with similar interests. I might want to diversify more. Could anyone tell me some pros/cons of choosing this option? How much does it affect your living conditions?

Again, thanks to anyone who can help. I appreciate it!
