are honors dorms always the best dorms on campus?

<p>

</p>

<p>I’ll use a ski resort as an analogy. I think most would agree that offering different levels of slope difficulty is a positive to a ski resort - providing a benefit to those that have achieved expertise in skiing from their talent and hard work. The same can be said for honors courses. </p>

<p>But what if skiers went into the base lodge for lunch to find that there are two food lines - one free buffet for expert skiers and a pay for everything line for everyone else? If one were to ask they would say that it is a reward for expert skiers having chosen their resort. What would you say? :wink: </p>

<p>End result would be that that resort would either have to quickly change its policy or be out of business inside a month. The reason is that no one should have a problem that there is a section of the mountain they won’t be using - they will however have a big problem (having paid to be there) that there are social benefits not available to them. </p>

<p>Same thing in college, you pay your money and purely social benefits (not to be confused with honors dorms) should be available for all.</p>
