My son didn’t live in the Red Bricks, but spent a lot of time in themwith friends in his classes. There is a LOT of contact between students in the bricks. Many leave their room doors open when they are at home, and there are always people in the lounge and study rooms. Most RAs are pretty good about planning dorm activities, too.

I don’t know that much about Yosemite, so I can’t speak to the situation there.

I know students who love the party atmosphere at Sierra Madre, but I also know of students who’ve had a really rough time with all the people coming in drunk, puking in the hallways, etc., and non-partiers who’ve been harassed by partiers. Students aren’t really allowed to have alcohol/drugs in their rooms, but the University must have probable cause to search private property (closets with doors closed, locked suitcases, etc.), so stuff gets smuggled in.
