Is the dorm Ecology House really antisocial?

I am an incoming freshman at Cornell so I can’t say much on the social scene of the ecology house, however I did visit it during a Diversity hosting in the spring and am currently at cornell for a prefreshman program and can describe a bit of the location. As mentioned before it is very far from campus. I was fully set a long time ago on being in the Ecology house until I actually walked over to it. The house itself seemed fine, it would just so inconvenient to be walking back and forth from Eco-House to classes, student store, college town, etc. There might be a bus to help transport you, but I’m not sure how close it is or the hours the bus runs. Too be honest the main thing that drove me away from the house was the distance, though I’ll probably still be a non-dorming member by paying whatever the membership fee is to still be a part of certain activities and programs they host. Once again, you will still probably be able to make many friends from within and outside the eco-house and all social things associated with that should be fine, but if you’re not a fan of walking long distances or waking up early to make it to classes on time u may want to reconsider just being a non-residential member of the ecology house like I’m going to probably be.
