<p>Hi! I’m trying to decide between north and south dorms. what are the pros/cons and differences/ similiarities of each? anything you know would be great thanks!
Also I’m a theater performance major.
Thanks!!</p>
<p>South Halls are closer to town and to the theater building (where classes and theater support activities like set and costume design are done) on the East side of campus.</p>
<p>Ok, I’ve lived in north for both of my 2 years here. It’s nice because we are in suites, which are more expensive, but what we have is 2 rooms with a common room in the middle. You have your own bathroom, which is nice. They’re also bigger. I think North dorms are a little nicer, but South isn’t bad. </p>
<p>Also, to the person above who says South is closer to the theater building? Nope, that’s incorrect. The Theater Building, where theater majors will have classes and performances, is at the north side of campus and is only a 5-minute walk from North Halls. How do I know this? I used to be a music major, and both music buildings are right next to the theater building. South is closer to downtown and to the State Theater, but that’s separate from the campus facilities.</p>

Sorry, showing my age - the Academic Activities Building on the East side of campus (near the reactor) used to be the building where theater majors had most of their classes, and the theater majors I knew always referred to it as “the theater building” - the current Theater Building used to be called the Arts Building. It looks like most acting classes have moved to the North side of campus (either in Arts or Visual Arts), although a lot of the crew and backstage classes remain in Academic Activities.</p>
<p>Oh, ok! that makes sense now.</p>
<p>Dancegrl, Are you an incoming freshman? If so, there’s a strong liklihood you’ll end up in East unless you apply for an SLO. That being said, South : Close to downtown, lots of sororities in the vicinity. North: a little obscure, artsier, a smidge quieter.</p>
