I'm picking my room for WVU and I'm not exactly sure what to do. There are two campuses, the downtown campus (where pretty much everything is - all the main classes, the frats, the clubs bars and etc.) that has a few dorms that hold about 200-300 people each. Then there's the uptown (Evansdale) campus, which is not that far away from downtown but far enough that walking from it to downtown is annoying and most people take the PRT to get downtown, which is like a little trolley car system that takes you down there.
However, most freshmen end up living in the Towers, which are the four huge 9-floor dorms that are for whatever reason on the evansdale campus, and each tower holds over 400 students each. I read on collegeprowler that if you have a choice, you should room in towers as a freshman because it's extremely social - the doors stay open (as opposed to automatically closing in the other dorms) and you just generally meet more people and have a better time together.
But I can't tell if that's a good idea for me or not. I'm majoring in Biometrics and Electrical engineering, so I'm gonna be fucked in the ass with homework a lot of the time. I figured this would be alright though if I was disciplined, and if the dorms got noisy then I'd just go to the library to study, and then get all my work done during the day and party by night and still live the completely awesome college experience. The one I'm looking to room in, Braxton tower, is the engineering-themed one, which made me think that's the one for me obviously, but then I got to thinking, what if it's filled with neckbeards? I mean, not filled, but I'm guessing it might have a higher portion of foreveralone-types than the other dorms. Maybe I would be better off dorming downtown, especially considering my freshman year might consist of a lot of gen ed classes which will be downtown, instead of the more specialized engineering classes that I'll be taking more in my sophomore/junior/senior years, which are all on the evansdale campus (the college of engineering is up in the evansdale campus, making Towers the ideal location for engineering students.)
Plus, Sloth mentioned to me once when he just started going to college, "don't shit where you eat". meaning don't mess with girls in your own dorm because that will cause tons of drama and fuck you over. But does that still apply when you're in a dorm with so ridiculously many people? I guess I just don't know how the dynamics of bringing girls back to your dorm room work out in college.
And then again, maybe I'm just reading too much into this and should just get a random ass room in Braxton and everything will turn out fine. Help me out bros.
