Hi! I heard that freshman can’t choose what residence hall they want to live in, and I’m strongly thinking about applying to RLCs to get my preferred housing. I definitely want a social dorm but also one where I can focus and get my schoolwork done. I like the RLC offered in Butler but I’ve heard it’s not the best dorm so I just wanted to know students personal opinions on first-year residence halls and what dorm they would choose if they could!
Butler is fine! & I am with you- RLC’s are the way to go. At the end of the day, dorms are dorms- and the building / facilities are a lot less important than you might think now. It’s really the people that make it.
That was extremely helpful for me! Thank you!
also by any chance are you a Tulane student? if you could choose a dorm what would you choose?
Sorry, not a student! have a niece there whose dorm 1st year was Butler, and as she showed us around the school we saw the other dorms her friends were in. She had a great 1st year in Butler 
oh that’s perfect! By any chance was she in an RLC? Thank you so so much for all of your help!
