sailor:
when i was an undergrad, i had a full load of classes and a fulltime job every semester--the only thing i took with me as a result of the ordeal was that i could fight everything except the cumulative effects of not getting enough sleep--so i had to become kind rigid about it.
given that the decision to live in a frathouse is already taken, then i would second what brian and delayed reaction said. drinking is not a good idea.
i dont know exactly where you are in the house, obviously, but can you get away with any minimal soundproofing? maybe hanging tapestry-type things on your walls? there must be other ways to do this--others mignt well know more about it than i do.
but if you find that after a semester nothing is working, i would move.
i would take this kinda seriously, because i also found that there came a point when despite my attempts to be sure to get enough sleep, i hit a wall of exhaustion anyway, and it took a couple months to recover from it. that duration may be particular to me, i dont know--but you do not want to find out for yourself if you can avoid it.
good luck....
