I go to plattsvegas, I live in Moffitt hall which is a high rise consisting of suites. I prefer the suite life over standard dorm living but thats just me. I would also try to avoid freshman dorms because  of the debauchery that exists.  And as for parties, off campus  is where  it all  goes down.  If your going to "party" in your dorm, know and respect your R.A. and their rules. some R.A.s are real chill and look the other way but others arnt as lenient.
