I just applied to U-Dub, and I've got a couple questions

Hi! I'm interested in majoring in romance languages (Spanish and/or French). How have your language classes been? As far as freshman housing, which are the best dorms? (I'd prefer a quieter not a party dorm). Is there anything else I should know? I'm deciding between U-Dub and U of O (where I would get in-state tuition).
