<p>The map is seriously confusing me.... what is close to the school of business? (University Housing)
Also, what's a place with a moderate social life but relatively peaceful?</p>
<p>A typical freshman has most of their classes on the main quad their freshman and well into their sophomore year. Enginnering and Physics dominate the North quad. Business is centered just west of the south quad, close to the group of dorms known as the “six-pack”. I think the rowdy, party reputation that the six-pack supposedly has is unjustified, and although it can get noisy at times, that can happen in any dorm. Talk to housing about your concerns. They deal with these types of questions from incoming students every day, and they or the admissions office are your best sources of information regarding these issues.</p>
<p>I would add Illini Tower and Newman Hall (both private University approved housing) have very good locations relative to the quad. Both have a reputation as being a little nicer than the six pack dorms.</p>
