<p>New/North are not “amazing” in any way. They’re decent dorm rooms. Better than Trojan, Pardee, and Marks Tower/Hall in my opinion because they’re a slight bit bigger, and you may have a sink in the room. New/North is popular because lots of freshmen live there and it has a reputation for lots of “social gatherings”.</p>
<p>Birnkrant is, hands down, the best freshman dorm. Go for Birnkrant if you can. be aware: everyone else is trying to get in there too.</p>
