<p>I live in Stevenson and also have a lot of friends at Cowell. Most of the people I know like to party a lot but that shouldn’t be a problem. Most parties are outside of campus so it wont get noisy if your worried about that. Either the RAs or CSOs will bust anyone who’s throwing a party inside the dorms. They are also really strict on quiet hours especially during finals week, If you do end up picking Stevenson or Cowell, then pick the substance free housing if your worried about drugs and alcohol. If you get caught drinking or smoking or even intoxicated in the substance free halls you will get kicked out of housing (there really strict on that).</p>
