are honors dorms always the best dorms on campus?

Well, life is pretty much segregated by income/education/smarts so why should college not reflect reality? While some academics might wish otherwise college is not some utopian preserve. BU is just trying to keep its best happy and not looking to transfer over across the river. The B students are very easily replaced.

<p>Transferring across the river? A. Harvard doesn’t accept transfers. B. A kid that has the ability to get into MIT but is at BU did so because he or she received a full-boat ride to attend not for some freebie Red Sox tickets. C. Most importantly, (moving on from schools in Cambridge) BU’s honors program ends sophomore year so it offers no incentive for a rising junior to stay at BU.</p>
