My daughter and 5 of her friends that are going to UCF all put down Towers for Fall. They are mixed as to what they want for summer. My own daughter is between Nikes/Hercules/and Towers for summer. She wants to meet as many people as she can and was told that the suite style dorms are more social (easier to meet and greet). Plus, Nike and Hercules (alias academic village) is next to the outdoor pool and the rec center! That said, she is a really outgoing person (will start up a conversation in the elevator with anyone) so IMO she ought to stick with the Towers (so she can cook). Lake Claire is also open for summer and that is supposed to be very social and really close to classes but my daughter didn’t really like the layout there. We toured Lake Claire during orientation last year and there were way too many people in the apartment at one time. It felt cramped for this reason. The cinderblock walls in the tiny bedrooms also felt “institutional” to her. Well, she has until March 1st to decide on her dorm preference for summer. She is prob going to random roommate. She wants to meet new people.
