<p>OK - please give me the scoop - Best Dorms, worst dorms, location, cleanliness, war stories, etc. - Need this info before I submit application!!</p>
<p>Biggest and Best dorms: Duren and San Jacinto... most social dorm Jester. Best location: Jester or San Jacinto.. Jester isn't as bad as people say, and is far more social than duren and san jac. San jac and duren have private baths, which means if you dont clean it, it gets dirty quick.</p>
<p>Jester's social factor entirely depends on what your floor is like.</p>
<p>Each dorm is about as "social" as the people who you get on your floor.</p>
<p>Having said that, I've stayed in Jester, and now Blanton. My floor was dead in Jester and I had a room behind a bathroom so I don't think people even knew I existed. In Blanton it's much more social (due to people) and you can almost always find something to do in the "Q" (The Quad game room).</p>
<p>Do. Not. Live in Jester if you can avoid it.</p>
<p>UTSenior, why not Jester and what is the difference between Jester and San Jacinto?</p>
<p>and if you are not honors, cn you stay in one of the honors dorms (like Carothers?)</p>
<p>Is there a big difference in location (Jester and San Jacinto area v kinsolving
littlefield area)?</p>
<p>Sorry - one more question about the areas again: Jester and San Jacinto is near Martin Luther King Bld, while kinsolving and littlefield are near Guadaulpe Street. What is the difference between the two areas? Where are all the stores, eating places, hang-outs, etc. - places on Martin Luther King Bld or Guadaulpe Street?</p>
<p>Yes there is a huge difference unless you have a bike.. I have only been to duren 1 time, and i have yet to go into kinsolving simply because its so far away from san jac. Try for san jac or duren, but jester isn't as bad as people make it out to be.</p>
<p>Guadalupe is where all the restaurants and hang out places are, but if you go out every day to eat, that food adds up very quickly. Most freshman are in jester so you will inevitably be down in that area a lot anyways. </p>
<p>Just FYI kinsolving is girls only, but Duren is the best dorm on campus(as far as niceness of the rooms goes), but San Jac is pretty much the same except a year older and is considered the best dorm.</p>
<p>And yes you can stay in honors dorms, without being in honors.</p>
