Do I get to choose my dorm hall.

Hello I’m a little confused on how dorms work. Once I do apply for a dorms do I get asked on what I like? Hobby’s and stuff And I give me a dorm that fits my vibe or do I just choose a dorm. And if so which dorm should I choose. There are like 30 if you guys have any suggestions let me know. I just want to be in a dorm hall where people are social. Will be a freshman soon so I’m not sure but grateful for any advice on social life in general as well. Majoring in engineering and heard it’s rough.
