Larkin is awesome. I lived there my freshman year and had an amazing time. There’s 100 freshmen in 2 buildings (each 2 floors) connected by a “breezeway.” It’s kind of hard to explain, but trust me, this is definitely a good layout for a dorm. I also know some of the staff members in Larkin this year, and you’re definitely in good hands (even though there are new RFs [Resident Fellows], but they seemed cool when I met them).

And sbc1234, I’m not sure if you were joking or serious in your post, but I can say that I was in a very similar situation to yours 2 years ago, thinking “oh god, I’m going to be surrounded by alcoholics…” when I looked at the Larkin 05-06 facebook group. I’m also fairly shy, but as long as you don’t eat your meals in your room every day during orientation and go to the various dorm activities during orientation week, you’ll be fine.

Also, the 2 Rinc RAs that I know are cool people, so whoever said they’re living in Rinc is very lucky.
