<p>Which is the best, and why?</p>
<p>bump…i have the exact same question!</p>
<p>Hey. I’m a current student living in Max (so obviously I’m biased) but honestly there is no reason not to live in Max. It’s literally in the middle of everything - the dining halls and library are just steps away and any classes in the quad are a 10 minute walk or less. The atmosphere is great - there are a lot more “normal” people in Max if that’s what you’re looking for, but a lot of quirky, typical UChicago kids too, so it’s a nice mix. Pierce has tiny, cramped rooms and a much smaller dining hall. South is really nice facilities-wise, but so far away its isolating and all of my friends that live there are unhappy about the distance.</p>
<p>I’ve stayed in Max before. Its at a superb location, but it’s a pretty big party dorm, so expect noise on weekends.</p>
