I am attending UW next year and am residing in Statesider, another private dorm. Statesider is, in my opinion, the best private dorm there is. Towers is in fact very jappy, snotty, and just not very chill. For instance, the doors can’t even stay open, they shut automatically. Statesider however is a very chill dorm, I stayed there in December and visited my friend, also from New York. Let me tell you, I had a great time, and the people I met were extremely friendly and not uptight east coasters. Many were from Chicago and West coast. In fact, there were people there from Towers trying to get away from their dorm.
These two dorm buildings happen to be right across from eachother, basically overlooking State Street. I do not regret my decision to be in the private dorms because I feel like being in a dorm with outsiders will facilitate my transition into UW. I do wonder what life would be like in a public dorm, but I stick by my choice. It’s totally up to you though, either way is good…I just personally would not choose towers, I know about 12 kids living there and they are pretty much all from Long Island or Jewish New Jersey. So i can pretty much guarentee a jappy existence in Towers. Good luck with your choice, anyway will be good. On Wisconsin!
