<p>I have been assigned to Donlon, and everybody here seems to say its the loud and social dorm. That's cool and I'm excited, but I'm also concerned about getting rest. Is it really that bad? Like if I wanted to go to sleep at 11 one night, would it be possible?
Thanks.</p>
<p>No, you'll be fine. I know people who live there and love it. It really is social and there is a study lounge on each floor and the main library on the main floor where you can study. You'll have no problem getting to bed.</p>
<p>Haha, I just lived in Donlon my freshman year. In general it's not that loud but sound carries down the hallways easily because of the floor plan.</p>
<p>In my case I had a neighbor who was loud whenever he was playing video games.</p>

<p>donlon is very social...and will be louder than the low rises or high rises...but meh it all depends on the people who live around you...you'll either get party animals or study owls...</p>
<p>just learn to make the most of it...if you're really sleepy you'll go to sleep no matter what...</p>
<p>I lived in Donlon this year. My floor, 2nd floor, was definitely the loudest in the entire dorm. When I went to my friends' rooms on the other floors, they were quiet as hell. It will really depend on the people on your floor. Donlon is definintely the best place to live, so don't worry about anything. :)</p>
