<p>If you want a social dorm experience, pick South or Max. It’s that simple. </p>
<p>I don’t mean this as an insult/characterization of people in other dorms, but the fact that South and Max have relatively high concentrations of outgoing people combined with their size (both are roughly 3 times as large as the next closest dorm) makes for a relatively easy choice.</p>
<p>Also note that drinking/partying will never be nearly enough an issue to make you contemplate switching dorms.</p>
<p>Let me defend being social in Burton-Judson for a moment… We had a lot of frat people and a lot of people who partied, they just didn’t want to party where they slept. So it’s less about “being social” and more about “noise in the dorms.”</p>
<p>Carry on…</p>
<p>Very true. It really depends on what you like to do in your free time - and there’s much to be said for a quiet, peaceful home to come back to at the end of the day (or the night at a frat/ downtown).</p>
<p>I’m going to be a freshman next year, and I put BJ on my application. I think the best way to describe myself is I’m really eccentric, a huge huge theater nerd, love reading, but also love hanging out and going on interesting adventures. I think I chose BJ for the close knit culture - I wanted to look back on college and remember my house family. I really wanted social, and everything I heard told me BJ was extremely social. I figured, as I’ve heard the culture can get a bit strange, I’ll just go to other dorms to find my parties.</p>
