Hey! I lived in Max P last year, and I loved it. Both Snell-Hitchcock and Max P are very close to the quads (Snitchcock is on the quads!), and really popular dorms - SH is more of your ivy-covered castle with mainly single rooms, and Max is a huge colorful series of three buildings with suite-style rooms.
Max was my first choice dorm because I wanted to live in a suite. Suites have two half-bathrooms shared between four people, split into two bedrooms (so I had one roomie and two ‘suite-mates’). You also have a little entry-way thing where I kept a mini-fridge and about 100 packs of Ramen noodles. Max is known for being filled with pretty out-going and social students, many of whom are athletes, as it’s so close to the Ratner and Henry Crown gyms. I met my best friends there.
Snell-Hitchcock is very gothic and beautiful in appearance, and has Harry Potter-esque house lounges and community bathrooms. It is filled with really interesting people who generally prefer independence - although all first-years have roommates - and is known for its total dominance in Scav Hunt. There’s also a very strong house culture.
