<p>hey im choosing dorms and was hoping you all could advise me i was hoping i could get a primarily non drinking, light partying yet social dorm...any suggestions???</p>
<p>I think there may be substance free options? besides the all-girls dorms of martha cook, newberry, and barbour..you will find partying at all dorms. markley may be the most excessive, though. I dont really know about the north campus dorms, though.</p>
<p>For 'non drinking' dorms , you gotta choose subsatnce free housing , where all residents agree to keep alcohol and other substance away from their dorm rooms. So probably within the substance free housing , there will be some light parties et al.</p>
<p>thanks for the help (and i was looking at guys dorms btw)</p>
<p>They drink and party in substance free floors as well as non substance free. I lived on a non-substance free floor, and the main hallway reeked of alcohol thursday-saturday nights on a regular basis. This was in honors housing btw.</p>
<p>I've lived in a substance-free hall for three years and that while some people definitely break the rules (such as having <em>any</em> alcohol in your room or body), it's never overboard like that where I've been.</p>
<p>so for the social seen would wellness dorm be totattly disastrous</p>
<p>I remember my room was supposed to be substance free, according to the contract. That didn't happen...</p>
<p>yea, i think the sub-free option is used to make parents feel better, but students don't usually follow it to well..</p>
