<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I'm an incoming freshman and am having a tough time deciding between catalina and Santa Cruz/Ana capa. </p>

<p>Answers to te following questions will help me make my decision:
1)what percent of anacapa and Santa Cruz residents are freshmen?
2)I hear that Catalina is very social. I have a hard time seeing how when everybody is being separated by 9-10 floors and two buildings! If I live on floor 2, am I going to know who's on floor 6? Is most of the socializing done outside the halls and in the community areas?
3)if I pick a residence hall that doesn't suit me, can I switch out say 1 quarter in?</p>

<p>If anybody has any other comments, I'll be happy to listen!</p>

<p>Thanks for the input. Im hoping fr responses from people that have had experience with both halls.</p>

<p>I’m in the same dilemma as you</p>

<p>I’ve heard that in San Cat you mostly only get to know the people in San Cat whereas in Anacapa/Santa Cruz you get to know everyone from your dorms and other dorms. Is this true? And how likely will you be to get a “chill” roommate in either dorm</p>

<p>thanks</p>
