Housing advice

<p>I am from far away from Wisconsin, and know 1 person that goes to the school. I'm trying to figure out what to do about housing, and I have to send it back by Feb. 10. If anybody could look at this message and give some advice on what to choose, that would really help.</p>

<p>I am a guy, so Cole is out.
I don't want to do any international or substance free housing.
I am a little unclear about what the residential colleges are, so I'm not sure about that.<br>
I'd be doing engineering, so I don't know if that would affect it much.<br>
I'll probably be a big hockey and football fan.
I'd probably be in Hoofers, so being near the lake would be nice.
I picked Wisconsin because it is really big, so I might want to be in a big dorm.</p>

<p>I've pretty much narrowed it down to being next to the lake or a big dorm near the center of everything.</p>

<p>Any advice?</p>
