Best freshmen dorms?

Hello,
I will be attending UConn this fall and I was wondering which dorms were the best/ worst. I’m a Physiology and Neurobiology major so I would like somewhere that’s quiet and not terribly far from my classes. I heard they were building new dorms, should I go for those? Can I also choose a roommate? My friend is a political science major and I’m a STEM major so somewhere that would suit the both of us location wise would be best. I was looking on the website but couldn’t really find much information. Thanks in advance!
