Quiet vs Nonquiet dorms

^ Again, what bco said. Pick a popular dorm that isn’t Stever. Donner, Mudge, or Morewood E. Then shut the door and you’ll find you have plenty of silence. Campus is also mostly open 24/7, except for the library closing on weekends, so you’ll have no shortage of quiet places to go to study.

Even living in a quad, the most trouble I’ve ever had with sound was the piano that’s directly underneath my room. But, like bco said, “Shut the f up, I’m studying” seems to work wonderfully to solve that problem.

All the freshman dorms seem to be about equally mellow as far as I can tell. I mean, if you’re a girl, I guess Mcgill would be an obvious choice because it’s all-female… but the girls I know in Mcgill only hang out with other women, so there goes your diverse social life. If you pick Mudge C3 and you really push to meet people off your floor, you probably won’t have a problem with social life. Just be aware that your floormates will be as exciting as watching grass grow, and those who are more exciting will want to get out of C3 as fast as they can (IE transfer rooms).
