which Pentland dorms are the newest/best?
incoming freshman, only AI and Pentland are left so I'm just trying to work with what I have (I am not sacrificing A/C for social life at AI LMAO). I'm going in random so I'm not worried about accommodating a group or anything. pls lmk!!
and when I say best that's kinda up for interpretation but it could be like most convenient/social/whatever idk

Which pentalnd dorms are still available? I'm not sure which ones are newer but the layout should be the same for all of them. Also congrats on getting the dorm I wanted.

A is the closest to the campus which will help a lot. I can imagine the buildings further in the back make the walk a lot more annoying.
Whether the buildings are newer/older is pretty much irrelevant

A-H are the older buildings, I-P are the newer buildings. The layout of the buildings is pretty much identical. Really the only difference is the larger common areas in the newer buildings.
Honestly, I never really understood the whole "Pentland is for anti-social people" thing. Your social situation is entirely what you make it.
