<p>Slivka is a VERY nice dorm, but it really is that quiet, studious, and nerdy. People in Slivka don’t make that many friends, but they learn a lot about engineering even if they are not engineers. Shepard is a music dorm. There are practice rooms in the basement, I think. Jones- I’ve never met anyone from Jones in the 2.5 years I’ve been here, so that’s probably not a good sign. Bobb-McCulloch- you won’t get your sleep, but oh, it’s so fun. Elder, Allison, Willard, and 1835 Hinman are all good, safe choices.</p>
