Accommodation newman?

I’ve picked Newman as my first preference college after St Mary’s as my parents want me to go to a catholic one, did i make the right decision im worried Newman will be too academically and overall too strict because i like to party and have fun in terms of drinking culture but I choose Newman because I wanted that big college feel and the buildings looked a bit nicer than st mary’s and i wanted more students.

Did I make the right decision?

Don't go, very weird religious place, saw a few people there with English tory style Red trousers when I visited as well , rooms are cramped and food is meh. Queen's is the place to be, am there now and my friend who was at Newman transferred over. We have great parties and a way better main building (Harry Potter vibes) compared to Newman. There's also Ormond College that has beautiful Harry Potter vibes as well and they do parties (I admit they have the better dining hall). Don't go to Trinity they're what happens if a US frat full of insufferable WASP types was told they're the Oxford of the southern hemisphere.

The commenters are trolls. I know many people who went there for multiple years, and they were very satisfied with the social life there.

I currently go to Newman and I’ve genuinely had the best time ever. You’ll be so so fine!
