San Jacinto Dorm

I’ve already been accepted into UT so my next decisions will be about what dorm I will live in. I visited UT this summer and got to see a tour of the dorms. I really liked San Jacinto and really want to stay in it because I really want a private bathroom but I’ve heard some negative reviews on San Jac. People keep saying it’s on the top of this huge hill and make it seem like it’s isolated by itself, but when i went to visit, the hill didn’t seem that bad to walk up and it seemed close to Jester to me, so I was wondering if there is some other hill I missed that makes living in San Jac so bad? Also people say its an anti-social dorm because of private baths, but I was wondering how can a dorm with close to 800 people (on the UT housing page it said there were 800 capacity) be anti-social? All 800 people can’t be anti-social people can they? And it’s not like you really meet all your friends in the community bathrooms when you’re trying to take a shower. So if you could give me pros and cons on living in San Jac that would be great.
