I'm a little confused on why you think dorm life is less social. I went to college, and am now employed/live in a major US city. In my college, we had regular dorm events and I knew everyone on my floor, and was friends with many. If I try to talk to my neighbors, they treat me with suspicion. If I make a neighborhood event, 1-2 or two people come to eat my food, then leave. Ancedotal, but my intuition is that dorm life is much easier, though that may be inherent to college. It's extremely frustrating to know that few will give you any of their time to form friendships, no matter the effort you try. Also, I thought warehouses were the trendy places to live now.

> In my college, we had regular dorm events and I knew everyone on my floor, and was friends with many. I'm sure dorms are great if all you want to do is party all the time. However given that people working at Foxconn/Amazon are probably working 8-16 hours every day, I'm doubtful that they'd really be in a partying mood after working that long. Hence, when everyone is finished working their shift and just wants to sleep, and you don't, it's a bit hard to be social without pissing off people around you. > Also, I thought warehouses were the trendy places to live now. You're talking about old warehouses which have been converted into trendy apartments. This is gentrification. No one actually wants to live in a functional warehouse.
