<p>What dorms are best for freshmen? Closest to classes, easiest to study in, comfy, tutoring/support...</p>
<p>There have been a few threads on this subject. Here is one very interesting discussion:

<p>Everyone seems to have their own ideas about which dorms are the best for freshman. Most agree that the standard double room/communal bathroom dorms are the best for social reasons. If you do not want to meet lots of new people, prefer to live in quiet...perhaps one of the suite-type dorm rooms would be better for you. The housing website at ufl.edu has a list of all the dorms and what type of rooms they have.</p>
<p>I noticed from your previous posts that you applied to Cornell. If you have those types of credentials (GPA 4.0 w, SAT >1400 CR+ M) then you would qualify for honors at UF..which means you qualify for Hume Hall...the newest and most desired dorm. It is full of honors freshman and some sophmores. It is a bit further from classes then say...the Broward area dorms (Broward/Rawlings/Mallory) but very comfy.</p>
<p>I'm one of the ones who prefer the subtleness and less racket, so I chose a suite as my first choice. Surely there are other ways to meet people at the school :)</p>
