Although I am not an expert on anything college after only 2 months, I dont think so. My daughter and (to be) roommate, both in honors program living in the honors dorm. Daughter finds that although it is an honors dorm there are kids hanging out a lot in the hallways which is very distracting since she likes to do her work in her room. Her time is very limited with a demanding major and playing on a sport team with several hours a day of practice and travelling almost every weekend. Also, her roommate, also honors, is in and out a lot with friends, sometimes late at night when D is trying to do work. I think that an apartment with someone who shares similar study habits and philosophies will be a better environment for studying than even the honors dorm. The funny thing is D is not a wallflower and likes to have a good time every so often (although she has only gone out once since school started) but is amazed at how often the kids in honors go out and how noisy her hall is. Also, D and her (to be) roommate are looking at 2 bedroom apartments so they will each have their own bedroom and space. For us, this seems like a good move. I hope we are right.
