<p>Was wondering if any experienced SUNY Albany student could recommend what dorms are best for a freshman.</p>
<p>I want to know if there are some locations/areas that are social, but are nerdier?? In a sense where people like to play video games more, better internet etc...? </p>
<p>My friend says freshman don’t get a choice of where they want to live, but if you do get an option, if you don’t want to party a lot and you don’t like noisiness, I would suggest Dutch quad as State and Indian are party quads and get rather noisy. You won’t find areas to live specifically for gamers, but there are plenty of clubs you can join and maybe second semester move in with a friend you make there. Good luck!</p>
