<p>I’m thinking about living on north side, because i hear it’s quieter, which is what i’d like freshman year. Do many freshman do this? I don’t want leonard, but what’s the difference between McDowell and Hughes? Doesn’t one have more sports teams? Would I be the only freshman in those dorms? Thanks!</p>
<p>there are freshman in ALL the dorms (except centennial) and on every floor. I am in Leonard now and really like it, though I'll be in Hughes next year just because that's where my future roommate wanted to stay. I have heard that McDowell has many people who do sports, but there are plenty of people there who don't as well.</p>
<p>thanks!, anyone else?</p>
<p>I just filled out housing and this is where i've decided to live:</p>
<p>1) Letts- because its on the south side, and although i'm not into the "huge" party seen, i like how on the south side things are connected. Of the three halls on south, one i can't get into (becaue i'm going to be a frosh) and i don't want to be in the greek mix.</p>
<p>2) Hughes- On the North side which is fine and the chance of getting in on an all female floor is slim. I stayed in this hall when i went to my AU overnight visit and it seemed like a really nice place to live. </p>
<p>3) McDowell- Its on the north side, which is nice again for the type of person I am. I am sort of into sports (meaning i played like varisity soccer and swim, now i just swim for fun)... well more meaning I like to play sports but i'm not very good. Yet at the same time i met my best friends playing a sport, so i think that i'll have a good time on this floor. </p>
