<p>I am an International student, and I consider myself quite well-balanced; I'm studious, fairly social and I like to participate in activities and events. As an international student I would also need break housing. </p>

<p>My first choice is Newing because it has recently been reconstructed, it offers break housing and is known for being environmentally friendly. In addition to that if I choose the corridor style I don't have to share a bathroom with more than 6 people. (I'm not really a fan of sharing a bathroom with more than 6 people maximum.) However I have heard that Newing has the reputation for attracting 'jocks' and 'frats' and I'm unsure I would be able to fit in with such a crowd. </p>

<p>Could anyone help me establish which dorm would best suit me?</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

<p>Newing sounds like a good fit! Yeah, the frat scene is probably more prevalent than in other dorms but it’s not a huge deal. It’s definitely not the majority. In my experience most people leave their doors open here and there’s a very social atmosphere; you get to know a lot of the people on your floor and particularly in the rooms next to/across from you. Especially considering you need break housing, I think it should be all good.</p>
