Jared53: I thought Red Bricks were the most social? That’s what I’ve read… I want to be in the social dorms. I am a very social person and do like to go to the occasional party.

I thought Yosemite and Sierra Madre were really old? I’m stuck between Red Bricks, Yosemite, Sierra Madre, and Cerro Vista. North Mountain is out. Definitely want a roommate or two. Now I’m confused… =/

Anyone?

Casurfer it’s great that you want to be social, you will have a blast here. The red bricks and yosemite/sierra are both social, but I would have to say Sierra/Yosemite are a little crazier. Occasionally I go to parties with some friends from Sierra and there dorms seem to be a little more active on weekends than mine. Either choice is fine and you will have fun either way. As long as you don’t focus on partying and never make problems walking back from a party than you will be fine. The police are looking for people who are in danger to themselves or others (ie puking on the streets, falling into trashcans or starting fights), walking back a little drunk is common and not a huge issue.

Also, no matter what dorm you are in there is room for surfboards. Me and my roommate both surf and snowboard, currently we have 2 surfboards and snowboards in our room and our fine on space. There are some really fun waves around here.
