<p>I'm going to Stanford next year, and I can't decide between FroSoCo and all freshman. If there are any current students who would be willing to chat with me, PM me and I can give you my cell number. Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>BuMp! I'd like to know too, though I'm choosing between FroSoCo and 4-class.</p>
<p>From what I've seen they are vastly different environments. If you are more of the intellectual type -- enjoy studying and learning, discussing current events philosophy etc. you might be more suited to FroSoCo. If you are more social and can tolerate the crazyness that sometimes come with a freshmen dorm then I would highly recommend it.
FroSoCo is also way out in the middle of nowhere.
As for 4-class dorms, they are okay but they tend to be less social, if you like peace and quiet they are probably for you.</p>
<p>For some people (like me), 4-class is perfect: not too loud, not too quiet. You get a mix of the excitement of the freshmen and the "maturity" of the upperclassmen who can give advice. I really love that the people in my dorm are pretty close and the upperclassmen definitely hang out with the freshmen. There are still avenues to study/drink/watch a movie/play video games/chat in the dorm, although there is less partying and running in the hallways than in an all-frosh dorm.</p>
<p>I personally love FroSoCo (going to Dean Bravman's bbq during admit weekend actually helped me choose Stanford!) but I can see why some people wouldn't like it. It's quiet, which I love, and far away, which I don't mind because I consider it some extra exercise.
If you want to be doing more loud partying, I'd go with all-frosh.
My friend in Eucalipto said it's pretty quiet, but my friend in Roble said it's much louder than FroSoCo. Overall, though, it seems anything is quieter than all-frosh.
I guess I'll also PM you cuz I have more details haha</p>
<p>hmm...wasn't the application for frosoco due already? or was it sle?</p>
<p>No, all applications are due at the same time. We'll know when we get our housing/general info packets this month.</p>
