<p>Yeah, it's really better to be able to make your own group of friends without a clingy roommate. Plus, nearly everyone around you has singles so everyone is looking to meet people.</p>
<p>(Oh come on spar, my side was amazing!!! though i did spend 1/2 my time on yours... you guys really were your own little dysfunctional frat..)</p>
<p>Does it matter what floor your on (are others better than some?)</p>
<p>o shyt, ppl from cornell plays we? i own dat game. i thought you people liked games that dont require any skills. ie fifa. bring it on sparticus!</p>
<p>Whether one floor is better than another totally depends on the people living there that year. But with 80 or so people on a single hall, chances are that you'll have a least a few people that you'll click with.</p>
<p>My closest friends are from my Dickson hall - I just got back from our second reunion since school ended, with all of us coming from various parts of the country to get together. And we're all living together next year too.</p>
<p>i was in dickson, i wanted a double too, like the thread-starter, but got a triple instead. it's a very social dorm by any standard, especially compared to my friends' high rises.</p>
<p>wats so unsocial about hi rise? you have a suite rite? and more than 1 person live in a suite rite? i dont understand it.</p>
<p>Don't worry about being in an "unsocial" dorm, because it totally depends on the people you're with. I don't know that much about the high-rises, but the floorplan of Dickson is what seems to encourage socialization. Depending what door you enter in/leave from, you're just going to end up passing your entire hall to get to your room. The suites in the high-rises are just more secluded in the way they are laid out. Still, for some people, this can be a good thing -- you won't end up sharing a giant bathroom with 50 other people.</p>
