<p>well, this thread has kind of gotten off track.</p>
<p>my original question had to do with honors dorms being something attractive. my DD has the stats for many honors programs, but i am not sure she is interested in joining due to the perception of honors being for geeks.</p>
<p>i have no problem with perks for honors kids, whether my kid is in honors or not. you work hard and get good grades, you get more goodies … just like in REAL LIFE!</p>
<p>it is not about an “us and them” thing. my kid more wants to fit in with people than be “above” them or different from them.</p>
<p>as far as different priced dorms creating the “haves” and the “have nots” … again … like in real life, not everyone gets the same thing. some people can afford a nicer dorm. some can’t. that has nothing to do with honors or no honors.</p>
<p>of course, if my kid is getting all or nearly all tuition paid, then i may spring for the nicer dorm, where otherwise i might not.</p>
<p>whatever.</p>
<p>so, the gist here is. some schools have nice dorms for honors. some don’t.</p>
<p>question answered.</p>
