I have never lived in a dorm and really don't ever want to. I haven't had any trouble making friends or getting involved socially. My other resource for this was clubs and on campus activities. Get involved and you'll meet tons of people. Plus, I am in the process of working for a sorority and that helped too (this process is very different from NPC, keep that in mind). I love it. I have friends over any time, all the time, do whatever I want (which, usually ain't much .. . it's the principle of the matter) and I can have boys over (just kidding, but there is no curfew type rule at home). So I love it.
Plus, it's quiet when you want it quiet and noisy when you want it noisy.
But that's just my opinion.
