I was in McCutcheon my freshman year. I chose that one since it is closest to the airport, relatively speaking. There was a large contigent of aviation students there, but since it's a Big 10 there were other majors living there as well.
For the most part, people in the same majors tend to seek each other out for the first couple of months. I guess that's because that's really all you have in common until you get used to the experience and branch out more.
My best advice for you is don't really choose the dorm based on it's proximity to the airport as you may have only one or two classes at the airport for your first year here. Also, this will force you to make friends outside your major. My best friend and roommate throughout college was someone whose major was CompSci. Go figure.
At any rate, good luck choosing housing! Remember to get that slip in EARlY, EARLY, EARLY. It's first come, first served. You really don't want to get stuck with your last choice.
