<p>I know they're basically the same (same location, dining area, etc)
BUT
which one has the nicer dorms?
demographics?
sense of community?
etc???</p>
<p>The buildings, including the dorms, are exactly the same. There is no sense of community in either college, unlike all the other colleges which have been around longer and have developed identities. I've been in the College 9 dorms for almost two years now and the people are generally either jocks, Asian, or just plain ordinary people with no strong stereotype against them. I am just describing what I have experienced so don't take my word 100%.</p>
<p>If housing location is important to you, pick College 9 over 10. The walk up the hill is a bit longer but if you're lucky, you'll get a room with a view of the forest. College 9 is nicer if you like peace and quiet. Frankly, a lot of people here are boring compared to the other colleges; I've had several friends move to the older colleges since they are much more happenin'. If you plan to spend a lot of time alone in a nice--albeit rather drab--housing environment, College 9/10 is for you.</p>
<p>Yeah, I originally really liked Porter but my parents don't want me to go there because of the drug scene.
I was looking into Cowell/Stevenson for next year, but they're going to be under construction next year, which made me opt out.
Perhaps I'll consider changing from 9/10 to Cowell next year once the construction is over.
How does changing colleges work?? Do you get last priority for dorms if you change?
Thanks</p>
<p>What happens at other colleges? Why do you like them more? which college has the hottest chicks</p>
