@BlockMI this is the link for the “current students.” You’ll find more details there.

Anyone else hear from Calhoun?
Yes emails went out Friday
Yes, I know. I was asking if anyone else had heard. My D was accepted
Yes - D20 also accepted to Calhoun. She was rejected the next day from U of SC honors so this definitely puts Clemson higher on her list! Yesterday she joined a 2024 students FB page and an HC group chat to try and get a better feel for things.
@BlockMI Honors gives you a couple of great advantages. First you kid gets to live in the honors dorm in what used to be called Core (someone now payed money to have their names on the dorms) which are very nice first opened in 2015 or so. These dorms also house the honors college classrooms and offices. The other advantage is the honors students get to pick there classes before their other class members. So in other wards Freshman class selection is Honor first and then all other freshman.
I would note there is a $500 a semester additional charge for honors students.
My daughter is currently a sophomore doing the whole honors thing and has really liked it.
Good luck to yours in what every you decide
@mebmama Did you say there’s an Honors group chat? My daughter is on the FB page and finding some great people, but I don’t think she’s hooked into a group chat yet. That would be nice.
WOW! I am surprised she got rejected from USC honors, I know kids with lower stats that were rejected from Calhoun , but got into U of SC honors
Yes, there is a FB group for class of 2024 & kids have started a snapchat group for Calhoun honors
Yes! I asked D20 tonight and she said someone had posted a link to the HC chat on that FB page. She says there is lots of roommate chatter happening on both sites for those who might be looking!
Everyone check your iRoar Portals; financial aid awards have been released, or at least some of them.
Also, @CollegeorBustNE I was not accepted into Calhoun, but congratulations to your daughter!
Sorry to hear that @drew02. Thank you. I know you have been very candid and I commend you on your maturity. Whatever college you choose will be lucky to have you
Any chance someone can post the link for my DS to get into the Calhoun Honors Snapchat group - can’t find it on FB. Thanks
Go Hokies! LOL
Is that where your child will be attending?
Well, he hasn’t been accepted there, yet, but it is high on his list. He’ll be waiting until he hears from WashU and Vanderbilt to decide, and also has Clemson and Penn State. My comment was because I knew that @drew02 was also waiting on VT acceptance this week.
@HokieCrazy Those are all good schools. I’m sure your child will do well at any of them. Good luck.
@Sunshinerules Did your son find the Honors College group chat? My daughter somehow found it, so maybe he can just search for it. It seems to be an active group with good discussion.
That is great! They are all great schools.
