My dorm was full of loudmouth jerks. Guys next door had a cat which they would throw against the wall for fun (or maybe they just liked pretending).

Got tired of drunks, superglue in the locks, all the BS that the partiers liked. I don't think any of them lasted more than a year or so.

Another dorm different school I had a job at 6 a.m. Sunday a.m. but the noise didn't stop until well after midnight Saturday night. And that was the Catholic 'good kid' dorm.

Later I had a room in a house full of cockaroaches but it was a lot more civilized than a dorm.

My older brother liked the dorms. Maybe it depends which one you get. I hated being required to live in the dorms.
