It’s basically a euphemism for the substance-free freshman dorm.

Technically, all East Campus dorms are substance-free, but the level of enforcement widely varies according to your RA, and most RAs are reasonable in their administration of the rules. (Read: “don’t let us see anything”) As an RA-to-be on East myself, I plan to take roughly this philosophy, although I’m a softie who will be hard-pressed to write anyone up in any but the most extreme circumstances.

The WLLC (or whatever it’s called – most years it’s essentially Brown dormitory) is actually substance-free, or as close to it as is imaginable on a college campus. People there seem to like it, but it’s a very self-selected group; you probably have a sense of how you would fit in with a bunch who volunteered to place themselves in a substance-free dorm.

(By the way, when I say “substance-free” I basically mean “alcohol-free,” although I suppose one could include marijuana as well. Consumption of any harder substances is not widespread anywhere.)
