<p>The UA website has a campus map where the residence halls are highlighted. Try to find that PDF document on their website and print it out while making your decision. I’m sure you know there are descriptions, photos, and virtual tours of all the residence halls on UA’s website as well.</p>
<p>Our D’s college adviser from UA told her that – generally speaking, the larger the dorm, the noisier, more party atmosphere. There will be a party-like atmosphere in most every dorm, but definitely stay away from the notorious dorms known for a heavy party lifestyle and make sure they are NOT in his top 5 choices. Also make sure he gets his top choices in to UA together with his financial deposit as soon as possible so he has the best choice of his top 5. Students very late in getting in their top 5 may well not even get their top 5. However, do take the time to give it very careful consideration. </p>
<p>Look at the number of students in each dorm, as the smaller dorms will be less rowdy. The older dorms (age of dorms and any renovations are listed on the UA residence hall website) are also listed, and the older dorms have slightly larger rooms. Perhaps he wants a newer dorm and doesn’t mind a slightly smaller room.</p>
<p>As for location, please try to find that PDF format UA campus map online that highlights the residence halls. Good luck!</p>
