Honors dorms, substance-free dorms, and living-learning communities are all a great idea. Anything that takes one out of the general, partying, animal-house-like atmosphere of the big freshman dorms.
I’d say have a discussion with son about why he’s going to college, what he hopes to get out of it, and he himself may choose this option. I cannot imagine pressuring a kid to choose one of these - if someone is looking for a party, they’re most definitely going to find it, even if it’s not happening on their floor.
