Pros/Cons of each dorm?

San Nic has more people than Anacapa (San Nic has eight floors while Anacapa has two) and better beach views. The ocean views on the 7th and 8th floors of San Nic surpass Anacapa’s 2nd floor view, although it does depend on which room you get.

FT is indeed the most social, but it is extremely inconvenient to have to bike 10-12 minutes everyday to and from class. Also, if you just woke up but are late for a class, you are going to be much more late than someone in the same situation who lives in the Channel-5 Island dorm area. Many FT residents tend to skip class completely when it rains during winter quarter because they don’t want to bike through puddles and get the freshman stripe on their backs.

I didn’t rank FT first because it just doesn’t have the benefit of living in an on-campus dorm and being near your classes.
