There are so many halls to choose from for university housing that I am little overwhelmed. I’ll be attending in the fall.

I want a very social atmostphere with other freshmen to get to know. I like to party, but I also am a studier as well.
Help! 
no offense but thats like the most generic description ever.
Anyways for social life go to one of the Ike dorms, any one of them. If you’re interested in something a bit more alternative but still very social, check out Allen Hall.
EDIT: Although it’s unlikely since upperclassmen get first pick, if you can get a spot in one of the nicer, newer Ike dorms. Bousfield, Wassaja, Nugent, I’d advise a freshman not to go there because it will be majority upperclassmen who most likely have established friend groups on campus.
Yes, definitely check out Allen Hall. Very good social atmosphere and very welcoming from day one.
Question: Is it true that room / dorm pick is completely random so if you accept now or April 30th, there’s no advantage?
If you like to party, check out Weston and Hopkins. Nugent/Wassaja are nice but quiet, as mentioned above.
