Not sure what housing options I should be looking at?

Ok, so I am not even sure if I will be attending USC, but right now I am definitely leaning towards it.

I made it into the Honors College, so I have the Honors housing option. However, I am not sure if I want to live in the honors dorm, I am a little scared it will be too quiet. I’d like quiet time to study and all that, but I wouldn’t mind living in an “animal house” type dorm.

I am also interested in joining a frat, but not until soph. year or second semester fr. year.

But, I don’t want to come off as a complete 24/7 party animal, I’m really not. I’d just like to have a little bit of fun, high school was just full steam ahead, hardly anytime for play. I still want to be challenged and focused on my studies, but I don’t want to be a machine that studies 24/7.

So, I am not sure if the honors dorm is for me. Suites sound nice though.

I plan on majoring in IB/Finance or maybe accounting. I am also out of state, so it is important that I pick a good dorm, at least I think so.

Are there dorms where there is an honors wing or honors floor? I wouldn’t mind that, kind of get the best of both world.

Any recommendations? Not sure if I would like a living-learning community. IDK what, it just doesn’t seem that diverse. Of course, I’m probably wrong about that, but I’m open to suggestions.

Thanks!
