are honors dorms always the best dorms on campus?

ctyankee, what they were talking about is not “free ticket’s” but bonding trips to events. They start with a weekend away and then have a variety of activities that kids can choose to participate in. And at BU, honors is only for the College of Arts & Sciences so other colleges, like Communications, have their own bonding programs that include trips to the Red Sox, symphony, etc. It isn’t a perk and it’s pretty much what they do everywhere.

<p>No, what they are talking about is a segregated school. BU has decided that kids taking one honors class per semester should have ‘bonding’ events with other like kids while excluding the majority of students they have classes with in the College of Arts & Sciences (CAS). Where do the excluded kids go for their ‘bonding’ weekend away? Where are their free events? What exactly are honors programs “trips to the Red Sox”? Do they board buses for the two block ride from Commonwealth Ave? </p>

<p>My viewpoint is simple, when a school shells out money to treat one group of kids in a school to free social events and tickets while excluding another group of kids - they have created a two-tier social system.</p>
