<p>incoming freshman here,
i was wondering, that of all the dorms in SB, which one should i pick?
i perfer a dorm thats somewhat quiet yet easy to socialize, and parties mostly on weekends.
i did a little research myself and im thinking about either Manzanita Village or San Nicoles.
but besides those two i have no idea what the other dorms are like. any suggestions? thanks!</p>
<p>Manzanita is DEAD.</p>
<p>I’d gladly recommend it for 2nd years and above. . .but I strongly advise against it for third years. </p>
<p>Any other dorms fits your bill.</p>
<p>You should look into the living-learning communities. they have quiet floors etc. that may give you what you want while still being in a dorm with other kinds of people. All of the dorms are really nice actually. FT has a reputation as the party dorm, so it’s probably not for you. I went in and checked out the dorms for Spring Insight and none of them were very loud. I personally like anacapa and santa cruz the best, they seemed very laid back but still social and friendly. Hope that helps :)</p>
