<p>I don’t think not having an RA at the front desk at all times makes it a quiet dorm. It just is. It’s great for studying, but not much activity happens besides people playing ping pong and stuff.</p>
<p>It seemed like Riverside West was a quiet dorm. But the Riverside also has the community building and the honors pool, so that might have more kids hanging out in that area. </p>
<p>JRT336 Since you were asking about furnishings… if you look at the video on Riverside Res halls page [Housing</a> & Residential Communities - The University of Alabama](<a href=“http://housing.ua.edu/halls/riverside.cfm]Housing”>http://housing.ua.edu/halls/riverside.cfm) you’ll see another version of honors furnishings. You’ll also see the Riverside pool in the video. (of course there are pools at the rec center, too.)</p>
