<p>I went to bruin day today and I took the housing tour. Although my tour guide wasn’t the most helpful and I didn’t get to see an actual plaza(I saw an RA plaza) I think I really want to go for a res hall. First of all there were many people in the res halls even though it was a Saturday and there was barely anyone in the de neve plaza. I come from NorCal so I’m going to be staying on campus for most of the time and I feel like I’d I go with a plaza I’ll feel really lonely. I’m not the most social person but I can be when put in the right situation and a res hall can provide that. I’m not too fond of the communal bathrooms but it’s a way to get out of your room.
I can’t help feel like people who choose a plaza or suite choose it because they want privacy and aren’t too social. ( or because they didn’t get their preference, they couldn’t beat the communal bathrooms,etc.) there’s nothing wrong with that but I want to meet a lot of people my first year 
I did see a res hall room at my tour and they weren’t too small! I won’t deny that they’re not huge but what can you expect right? The girl’s room I saw was really organized and cute. It is really what you make of it. Sooo res hall for me if I get my preference!</p>
<p>My mom’s really worried that I’ll have a hard time studying if I live in a res hall. Is this true or are there many alternatives to studying in the dorm ?</p>
