<p>it really depends on the year/group of students who you get placed with. apparently last year, alondra (the all frosh dorm) was a crazy party dorm (I heard this from several sophomores who lived in alondra at the time). this year, it’s relatively quiet compared to the other all-frosh dorms, whereas Cardenal and Faisan are a lot crazier. I talked to a couple upperclassmen about housing, and it’s the same with other types of housing --it really boils down to the students. For example, everybody thought that Toyon, the all soph dorm, was going to be a crazy party dorm, while it’s actually pretty quiet this year. Who knows what it’ll be like next year with an entire new group of students.</p>
