<p>I'm an intended business major and I'm trying to figure out where to live. I will be honors and I'm looking for a more academic environment. I'd like to do the KLLC but I have hesitations about living in NW because of its reputation. I do not drink and want to focus during the week but I also want to have fun.</p>
<p>Any insight as to how extreme the partying is in NW and with those in the KLLC and any other ideas on where I could live?</p>
<p>I’d put KLLC as your first choice, and put central neighborhood as second. They do still party in the KLLC (it’s a few steps down from the rest of NW though), and there’re a lot of kids in there who aren’t business majors who joined KLLC just to get into McNutt.</p>
<p>If you do opt for Northwest, it’s pretty chill Monday-Thursday afternoon, but after that it gets a little louder and escalates until Saturday night. If you still think you need a place to study, you can always leave NW and go to the library/union/etc. If that sounds okay with you, I’d put NW instead of Central as second choice. But if you’re not in KLLC, Central ** will ** probably be your better bet. And Southeast if you REALLY want it to feel academic and quiet.</p>
<p>SE I thought would be too far off anyways. Does the KLLC have air conditioning? What about central? What are the advantages of the KLLC anyway?</p>
<p>KLLC has air conditioning. As far as Central goes, Teter and Eigenmann are air conditioned but Wright is not.</p>
<p>The KLLC is advantageous in that it has a high proportion of business majors who are dedicated to their studies but it still has the party atmosphere of McNutt too.</p>
<p>Does anyone know much about the new Union Street Center residence in the central neighborhood?</p>
<p>altfb11: I’ll be honest, I live in the northwest honors community in Briscoe, and I spent a lot of time in the KLLC. A good third of my floor is really wild, and just generally disrespectful. They don’t care if you are sleeping or studying, they’re going to be loud and smoke pot on the floor and get wasted on Tuesdays. For an honors floor, you wouldn’t expect that at all, but that’s what we have.
The KLLC is really big, its two entire buildings of the McNutt quad, so each floor varies. I think you’ll find that some are more studious than others, but some get really wild as well. There’s a general “work hard, play hard” atmosphere. I chose to avoid the KLLC because it wouldn’t provide enough variety.
Living in Northwest is kind of out of the way. If you are in the honors college, I highly recommend the honors community in Teter. A bunch of my friends live there and its close and has private bathrooms. If not, I’d try picking another learning community in Teter so you don’t get stuck in Wright, or worse, Eigenmann</p>
<p>^ What’s wrong with Wright and Eigenmann? Wright has good food and great location, and Eigenmann has newer, nicer rooms than most of the other dorms on campus.</p>
<p>Most people I know who live in Eigenmann feel isolated because its so far in one direction and not a lot of dorms are close. its a pretty far walk everywhere from there, and it doesn’t have the social scene of NW. It may be okay for some people, but I’ve stayed there and would hate to live there. Wright isn’t awful, but I stayed there this summer and really disliked how there is so much furniture (wardrobe, big cabinet things, desks, bookshelf) on the floor, it makes it hard to have a good set-up. Its def not a horrible place to live, but I was just emphasizing how I would prefer Teter to it. Plus no a/c is a downer.</p>
<p>That’s true. All dorms definitely have advantages/disadvantages to them, but Teter seems to combine the best of all the dorms from Central.</p>

<p>Whaaaaat, Eigenmann is better than almost every dorm… and it’s not ** that ** isolated…</p>

<p>Expensive.</p>
