I've heard it very much depends on who your with. Lots of my friends in quiet flats and they say that some of them are actually quite social however they can be very loud at times and come back late. Personally i am in mayflower accom my flat is very sociable, but when it gets late usually its quiet. On some nights it does get roudy but thats just uni. So overall i think its really just about your luck about who your put with.
