I really advise against living in Manzanita. I was really envious of all my friends that got spots in Manzanita (I was placed in Anacapa), but then when school started, they were all bummed because Anacapa was a much more social environment. You can get a single room at any dorm, so you can have your space to retreat to when you want quiet time, but you can also venture out when you want to meet people, go to the library with peers, or go do something social. Dorm rooms all feel like you’re living in a shoebox, so even if you are a quiet, reserved person, you’ll still appreciate the opportunity to mingle with other students.

Anacapa was awesome, but any of the other Non-Manzanita dorms get great reviews from people I know who lived there.
