UMass Amherst Dorm decision?

<p>I'm going to UMass Amherst next year but I have no idea which residential hall to pick... I don't drink, nor do I party, but throughout highschool my closest friends were people that did drink and party, some very intensely. Because of this Idon't know which dorm to pick. Orchard Hill sounds appealing but I'm worried I won't meet people I can befriend. And what worries me about Southwest is that it will be too hardcore for my liking and the partying will be all in my face.</p>

<p>Also I'm an international student, never lived or been to the US so again, I want a place with the most diversity.</p>

<p>Is Southwest as hardcore as everyone says it is? More importantly will I not fit in since I won't be partying and stuff?</p>

<p>You’ll get more UMass-specific feedback on this in the UMass-Amherst forum. Go to ‘Alphabetic List of Colleges’ and find UMass’s page, where you should be able to find better help. :)</p>
