<p>Not nerds, per se. Just not a place people tend to choose to go to. “PARC IS NOT JUST CRAP SPELLED BACKWARDS” etc. If you put just one of either you’re almost certain to end up in that dorm, regardless of order of preference- ISRC was my fifth choice (out of 5). They are less “social” dorms- largely a euphemism pre-freshman use for drinking and partying, which they don’t realize will be readily available no matter where you live. I found ISRC being quiet very much suited to what I wanted and it worked out. I would NEVER, EVER live in Bobb, etc.</p>
