<p>I am currently a freshman living in Wright (central neighborhood). Everyone says Central has better food, but I think they are pretty much the same. Northwest has better partying in general but it really depends on the floor you get. However, the location of Wright is AMAZING. Every single academic building is closer to Wright than it it is the Northwest (business school is prob equal distance from Wright and Foster). The library is literally a 30 second walk from me. I highly suggest you request Wright quad, as I believe the location of your dorm is the most important thing. There will be people you get along with in every dorm your in. Yes, maybe there are more partiers in NW but there are plenty in other dorms as well.</p>
