<p>I'm currently in a double in Harwood, but I know that we're gonna have a lot more options next year. In terms of a party atmosphere... which dorm would be best next year? Not sure what I wanna do, but I'll probably want a single. I know it's early, but I was thinking about Smiley, Oldenborg (for French), or Blaisdell... then again I don't know much. Anyone wanna shed some light on the situation?</p>
<p>If you aren’t applying to be a sponsor, Oldenborg is probably your best bet for housing. Oldenborg is by far your best bet for a single. Smiley isn’t going to have the “party atmosphere” you’re looking for. Regular room draw is a crap shoot. Friendship suites can work out if you have good enough numbers but still aren’t as reliable. The Oldenborg 4-person suites are generally the best party rooms for Sophomores, though they consist of two 2-person doubles. You have to realize you’re still a sophomore and can’t have expectations that are too high.</p>
<p>I was in a Harwood double last year and now I’m in an Oldenborg single. It’s definitely the way to go - ESPECIALLY if you have 4 other friends who get an oldenborg quad (2 connecting doubles with a common room+ bathroom) for you to take advantage of.</p>
<p>Most sophomores live in Oldenborg. I didn’t, but I definitely got my partying in. </p>
<p>I’d say go with Clark 1 if you can.</p>
