Best freshmen dorms at UMass Amherst?

Northeast, Northeast, Northeast! The most popular dorms on campus are the Northeast dorms due to their convenient location from classes and the dining halls. Most of the buildings in Northeast are for first-year students only, so I would take advantage of that to secure at least 1 year at Northeast to experience it. The vibes are chill and the people are typically interesting.
