Tropicana del Norte vs regular UCSB dorms

I am going to be an incoming freshman to UCSB and basically I have either the option to dorm at the regular UCSB dorms (Santa Cruz, Anacapa etc) or to live at Tropicana deal Norte. However how do these two compare to each other and is it recommended to live at Tropicana Del Norte my first year? Also how was your experience at Tropicana del Norte if you went? I haven’t been able to find much perspective on it and would love to see people’s personal experience! Thanks :slight_smile:

And one more thing which resident halls are most social or in other words have the strongest sense of community( I would think Tropicana deal Norte)
