When D was a freshman (she’s now a junior) two floors on Hughes were reserved for Honors students. She saw no particular advantage to being in Honors housing–the rooms are the same (in fact, she was tripled for a while), the location can be more or less convenient depending on what classes are taken, and most students make many friends outside of the program anyway through classes (most of classes are not Honors classes) and various activities. I never saw the point of AU’s Honors housing, actually. If the assumption is that there’s some rarefied intellectual atmosphere that permeates the dorm–there’s not.
