Overall, it is a quiet dorm, exceptions being the loud celebratory days. Dorm mates were generally communicative-- letting everyone know if there would be a visitor or something. It was the perfect distance from Lulu dining hall (3-7 min (and I walk slow)) and the Sports center (4-7 min), which was great if you rushing to get to class or needed something to eat. I loved the art and writing that would be on the doors, we had an unusual number of artists on the first floor. My main complaint is that first floor can get visitors who are loud and don't live in Caz, people kept the kitchen a kind of mess (dish area), and people really need to take their hair with them after showering.
