<p>Hey I was wondering if current CAL students can give some kind of review of the available freshman dorms. There's a choice of Clark Kerr Campus, Foothill, Bowles, and Units 1-3. If you can give me back any info on each or your opinions that'd be appreciated! Thanks!</p>
<p>These are all the stereotypes/generalizations (though I find they hold true, as much as generalizations can)</p>
<p>CKC - Best dining hall on campus. Far from campus but a reasonable walk. Big suites. Lots of athletes. </p>
<p>Foothill - Antisocial. Up a big hill. On North Side, which is less fun than South Side. Quiet. </p>
<p>Bowles - All freshmen boys. Supposedly they all bond. Don't know much...</p>
<p>Unit 3 - Oldest of the units, most rundown. Rooms are tinier, furniture older. Supposedly the most social.</p>
<p>Unit 1 / 2 - pretty much the same, except that Unit 1 has a better location (on Durant, which has tons of food places) and is closer to campus. Unit 1 and 2 each have six buildings in the complex. The freshmen dorm rooms are reasonably sized, but definitely not large. Underground there's a nice computing center, mailrooms, cardio machines.</p>
<p>In defense of foothill: </p>
<p>Foothill students are social. But they are not social animals. </p>
<p>make sense?</p>
<p>The units are the most social. Foothill is quiet, very quiet. Clark Kerr has great food and lots of athletes. Stern is all female and seemed quite when I visited. Bowles is all males and I'm very scared of their showers.</p>
<p>Not animals? You mean like...robots?</p>

<p>Thanks for the info guys! Is the system on a first-come first serve basis?</p>
<p>No, it's a lottery. UCLA is firstcome/first serve though</p>
