College Prowler Take
One of the best parts about going to college is freedom; you suddenly live by yourself, with no one to tell you what you can and can’t do. The dorms are the ultimate expression of this newfound freedom. At IU, there’s a wide range of dorm types, and your dorm experience is what you make of it. There aren’t necessarily any “bad” dorms or “good” dorms, because each one has something different to offer; if you want to have a good time, you can do that regardless of which side of campus you live on. It all depends on you. Some of the double rooms are cramped, and an Indiana summer in a tiny room can be close to unbearable. Recent renovation efforts prove that at least the administration knows that there’s work to be done. Also, living on campus will probably never compare to living in your own apartment or house off-campus, but it’s a way to get a first taste of that freedom without too much responsibility attached. Besides, if you’re a freshman, you don’t really have a choice. Students Speak Out

Avoid the non-party dorms, unless you go for that anti-social scene. Dorms will be dorms: awkward roomies, decently acceptable food, and crazy nights. Don't live in Reed, Teter, Wright, or Willkie.

I enjoyed living in the dorms my freshman year, but I wouldn't want to do it again in other years. Living in a dorm would be my very last option for any other year besides freshman year. I lived in Teter, which was very nice, close to classes, and not the biggest "party" dorm, but still full of great people.

Northwest corner is the Chicago and NY kids. Definitely the wealthy party place. I lived there and wouldn't have lived anywhere else. The area with forest is all the music students. Stay away if you are more preppy.

Northwest Neighborhood is very loud. Good for parties, bad for studying.

The dorms are fun if you're social, but they could be hell otherwise. If you like to party, live in Northwest, but be careful not to get caught drinking. If you're a music major, live in the Southeast dorms. If you want close proximity to campus with a little less partying, live in Central.
