<p>I'm a freshman who will be living in a single in Deviney in the fall. Is it very social there? I was considering requesting reassignment to Smith or Kellum so I could have the authentic dorm experience. I'm really worried I'll end up sitting in my room all day at Deviney.</p>
<p>It’s as social as you make it. That’s true of every dorm on campus.</p>
<p>Well, I have the tendency to sit alone in my room all day, so I’m looking for a dorm that will force me to socialize. Because Deviney only houses a fraction of the students that, say, Kellum or Smith does I’m worried it would be harder to meet people.</p>

<p>What about these two posts suggests an answer to your concern? Hint: The solution is not the building or your neighbors. You can push past your self-imposed limits.</p>
<p>Again though, it’s going to be as social as you make it. No dorm is going to “force” you to socialize. If you’re one to sit alone in your room, then you’re likely going to be complaining that it’s not “social” enough no matter where you are living. </p>
<p>What will make a dorm social or not is you. When you move in, get to know your hall mates. There will be a mandatory meeting within the first couple days of the semester where you will meet your floor mates. Go from there. You can make friends if you try.</p>
<p>Lived in single in Deviney as a freshman, la room 7-11.
Best friend to this day lived right next to me.
Life is what you make it brah. Just don’t be that awkward kid that tries to hard to start conversations when you are in the bathrooms…</p>
<p>I think Deviney is a social dorm, as it is a freshman dorm and most of y’all will be out in the hallways meeting neighbors and such or in the common area. It’s not like the rooms are nice enough to want to be sitting in there when you aren’t in class.
If you are more of an introvert it will be difficult to put yourself out there, but remember there are many others coming in feeling exactly like you.
I highly recommened joining a group/club when you get to campus, it will force you to be more social. Don’t think twice about it, just do it.
Good luck!</p>

That is so me. We can sit together in our rooms all day!</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for the help, guys. I feel better now, and think I’ll stick with Deviney.</p>
