<p>But, I visit annually and stay in dorms.</p>

<p>Stay away from: NORRIS.</p>

<p>If you will play sports, lean for North Campus. </p>

<p>If you are into arts, lean to South Campus.</p>

<p>If you are into science, either campus.</p>

<p>Rule of thumb, people on South Campus are more liberal than North Campus -- but that is all relative as the campus -- as a whole -- is very liberal.</p>

<p>Food used to be better at South Campus, but the new Rosenfield Building (in middle of campus) will moot that issue.</p>

<p>There arenew dorms delivered by an alum of the class of 1975 which are smaller but taller. They have lots of light, and are closest to sports arenas. So rule for them is same as North Campus.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
