I lived in Gamma it was really chill back then. I can't remember where Beta was exactly, but my advice would be that if you don't know anyone going into it you may want to avoid the ridge. There's less people and its more low key. Its hard to say though because if you get in with a good group its so cool. I just like the layout better than your typical dorm room hallway thing, but the people that did live down below tended to have more friends just pretty much by default of having to run into 100 people a day to get out of the building.
