<p>My son will be a freshman in computer science. Which dorm(s) would be the best choice for him? He will have a lot of general college level credits, so most of his course load will probably consist of courses in his major.
He is looking for:
(1) most convenient to his classes - either shortest walking distance, and/or convenient transportation such as frequent campus buses, and/or least amount of outdoor walking (for the winter months!)
(2) pleasant atmosphere (ie, nice/well maintained room layout, good facilities, friendly atmosphere)</p>
<p>He is NOT looking for a party dorm. With that in mind, which are the party dorms (ie, 6-packs? and others), so that he can avoid them?</p>
<p>Also, he has received a brochure about “Private Certified Housing”. Are there any of these that are good (ie, better than dorms), and what are their advantages and disadvantages?</p>
