Rooms aren’t reeeallly soundproof… at least in Pegram I felt the walls were kind of thin. It was only annoying when my next door neighbor practiced the electric guitar (apparently we were the loud roommates). Halls are on the loud side during the weekends, but not unbearable during the weeknights.

East Campus is technically a dry campus since you’re all under 21. It depends on your RAs whether there’ll be a strict enforcement of alcohol. Mine on my floor were very chill and as long as we weren’t drinking with the doors open, running down the hallway screaming clutching a fifth of vodka and screaming along to “Born in the USA” (someone did it), etc. they wouldn’t bother us. She knew we would have mini-parties in our rooms and she was completely okay with that. Other RAs go out of their way to bust people.

There’s no smoking in the buildings. No one really breaks that rule with cigarettes. But go ahead and smoke outside… no problem there.

As for Wi-Fi-- it’s really the luck of the draw. All the common spaces have wi-fi, and my room was right across from a study lounge, so we got their wi-fi signal. For some reason this year on West, my room also has Wi-Fi.
