<p>My son will most likely be attending IU and majoring in music performance in the Fall of 2011. I would like to know which dorm(s) would be the best for him to look into?</p>
<p>Read would be best.</p>
<p>He can’t actually request Read as a freshman since he can only request a neighborhood, not a dorm. However, if he requests the Southeast neighborhood and the performing arts community, he’ll most likely end up in Read with other music majors. Be sure to sign up for housing early even if he doesn’t know for sure if he’s going to IU. We were advised of that last year, so we signed up for housing in early February before my son even auditioned. Aside from housing a lot of the music majors, Read is also the dorm closest to the music school.</p>
<p>Thanks for your help. Good to know to request housing before auditions.</p>
