Private Certified Housing Questions-Please Help!

<p>Hey everyone, </p>

<p>I'm an incoming freshman at UIUC and intend on living at either Bromley or Presby. I visited both and I love both of them, I could see myself living at either. I'm DGS right now but plan on switching to engineering, so I need REALLY good grades. I do plan on having a social life with parties and what-not, and I've heard that Bromley is the best socially, but I haven't heard much about Presby. I know it's a religious house, and I don't know how strictly that is followed by students. Presby has a slight advantage for me based on the living conditions that I saw, but Bromley has a great reputation overall. I really need input on where to live, and any info would help. Thanks!</p>

<p>I haven’t been in either, but Presby is only about 6 years old, and Bromley is over 30 years old. Presby is connected to McKinley Presbyterian Church, but I don’t think it is “religious”. Based on comments from students at UIUC I have talked to, Presby get the thumbs up.</p>
