On the Civ and Max/South questions:
Civ abroad is supposedly competitive, but I don’t know anyone who has wanted to do it abroad and been unable. I don’t think all of them got their first choices location-wise, although many (most?) did. It also varies some from place to place (Paris, for instance, apparently has a tendency to be more competitive).
Max and South are probably the most similar dorms on campus, and the differences between them have been discussed a lot here if you search for them.
