Which dorm would you choose?

Please don’t listen to Caillebotte. Normally, social = partying. If that’s your thing, then cool; however, often if these are your main friends, you’ll get pushed into doing things you might not want to. I’ve seen it happen over and over again.

I would consider myself very shy. Last year, by chance, I had a single room in a very, very anti-social dorm. This year I’m in an apartment with two roommates I don’t really ever talk to, and no one on our apartment floor every talks to each other. But I still managed to make more friends and close friends than I could every imagine in the last two years. Moral of the story?: it really doesn’t matter where you live if you aren’t a jerk. My theory is that by not living in a “social” dorm, you’re better able to meet people with similar interests as you.

Oh, and for the record, my vote goes to Dorm 3. If anything, not having a dining hall so close will probably help you avoid putting on the typical 15 pounds (though, then again, having a convenience store so close can be just as bad).
