<p>Which is the most social part (and dorm) of campus or at least my definition of that since, by reading other posts, I know that there is every type of social avtivity here. My definition of it is going out on weekends having some drinks with close friends or with close friends at big parties! I will apply to Sloan if that helps in anything. Thanks in advance! I'm just trying to see how MIT works :)</p>
<p>You can find that pretty much anywhere. I think whether or not your and your friends’ social activities involve alcohol depends more on your group of friends than on your dorm. I wouldn’t worry about that so much. Your style of socializing in college and whether or not you’re interested in the traditional “party scene” is something you’ll discover very quickly after arriving at MIT. You might surprise yourself.</p>
<p>thanks for the answer! also umm which are the best dorms per se without taking into consideration the party scene and social life? PROS & CONS…</p>
<p>
This is definitely not possible to answer. </p>
<p>Since students choose their dorms, and since dorms have strong unique cultures, it’s not possible to say which dorm is the “best” – it’s all about which dorm or dorms are best for someone like you. </p>
<p>There will be plenty of opportunities at Campus Preview Weekend in the spring to check out different dorms and living groups, if you’re admitted, and even more opportunities during orientation, if you decide to attend. The best way to pick a dorm community is to visit a bunch of them and decide which factors and social scenes are most important to you.</p>
<p>good to know! ;)</p>
<p>I would also add that apart from the dorms, amongst the 33 Fraternities, Sororities and Independent Living Groups (the FSILG system), there are an even wider range of living arrangements and of approaches to social life. There are about 1700 undergraduates affiliated with the FSILG system, which represents a significant slice of the student body.</p>
