I was just giving a fair warning if he/she was looking for a campus that has some sort of social atmosphere within and beyond the campus. I've known many freshmans (mostly residents) that come to Cal Poly Pomona expecting it to be like the movies, nonstop partying with lots of booze and they were devestated by the time the first weekend came. If you want to be a "serious" student, then go to Cal Poly Pomona where there are basically no distractions at all. Even if you go to a "party school", you can still be a "serious" student, it's not liked you're forced to party every day. Yes, you go to college to learn, but why not have some fun while you're at it since it's basically your last years before moving into the working world. And it's not like these party schools have a 80% dropout rate either, most of these "party" students seem to find the right balance between their education and socializing.
Sorry to hear about your crappy dorm situation. But a lot of colleges have academic enhancement or study dorms. Perhaps you picked the wrong building to live in that year, or perhaps you didn't bothered to ask the person to turn down the music, get a RA, or use the study room.
