@ConfusedMominMA‌ Yep, it’s a small questionaire and to be honest, some people feel it isn’t that effective. Luckily, I have a great roommate, but I know people who absolutely don’t get along with theirs. I found my roommate by talking to people on the Facebook group before school started.

@JoeSweeney83‌ Well, it feels like both! You got both advantages So some classes are taking in the Elm Classrooms (like college writing, the Honors 201 seminar) but most of the “Honors” courses you see (like Math 131H) are taken in regular buildings, but with less students (25) and (usually) a “better” professor.

Many classes are still with non-honors students. And to be honest, a lot of courses are not even offered with Honors versions. For eg, none of my CS classes have Honors versions, but I took Calc 1 and 2 with Honors.
