San Jacinto Dorm

I don’t consider San Jac isolated. It’s at a very busy corner of campus (21st & San Jac) and relatively speaking, it’s really not far at all from Jester. BTW, it’s at the bottom of said hill, not the top. It would probably probably further away from classes than most dorms, though, unless you’re a social work student. Not a huge deal though - if you’re an engineer, for example, I’d look at the dorms on the north side of campus, but otherwise you should be fine.

I can’t speak to whether or not San Jac is antisocial, but really, whether or not you end up making friends depends on whether you make a conscious effort to do so. I have a friend who was miserable in Jester because she didn’t know anyone there. I lived in a dorm with a community bathroom but I don’t recall actually forging a friendship with anyone in the bathroom - the thought of that happening is really making me laugh, actually.
