Speaking as a freshman I can give you my opinion on freshman dormitories. Depending what type of experience you want from your dorm life. Keeney is a great place to make friends and having a great sense of community and openness. On the other hand, you will have to deal with late night shouting, fire alarms and vomit and piss on random places within the dorm. Andrews on the other hand is the nicest, in terms of spacious dorms, in-room sinks and clean hallways. It does lack the sense of community though. In my opinion, Champlain combines the mix of good living conditions and community overall.

Keeney: flocked with freshmen! the good thing is that u will find people u like cos there are just so many of them
Andrews: have sinks in the rooms so u don't have to go to a communal bathroom to brush your teeth and wash your spoons. also called "hotel andrews" because of the nicer dorms
Littlefield: a very small dorm. with a lounge in each hallway where u can study when ur roommate is in bed. can get really close to some people but there are fewer people (hence doesn't have the benefit of Keeney)

Next year, there will only be freshman housing in Keeney and on Pembroke Campus, so Littlefield, Wayland, Perkins, and Hope are no longer options for first year housing.
I would impress what is said about Keeney. Honestly, your hallway can be as crazy or as calm as you want it. If you don't tape the locks on your bathrooms (a popular habit so that keys are unnecessary when traveling to the loo), then your hallway won't ever really get too crazy, and the bathroom can be very clean. If that's what you want. The bathroom on the other side of the floor from me, though, taped its lock and it's the most decrepit place I've ever been.
Pembroke Campus housing is generally nicer, but some of the dorms have a more private feel to them, which is a double-edged sword. You have more immediate privacy (sinks in some rooms, quieter hallways, etc), but a lot of community feel can be lost. Some floors really took advantage of getting to know each other, though, so it's a mixed bag.
