College Park Scholars (v Honors College) Info/Discussion

Hi I was admitted to Maryland Honors and am pretty psyched. I guess I thought at such a big school it would make it easier to meet people with similar goals and was hoping for scholarship $$ since I am OOS. I didn’t realize there was honors housing, that is pretty important to me, most cities in my state have fewer people than UMD, hah.
Also, being in engineering I want to get a lot out of my humanities courses. About how much of my non-engineering requirements can I do through honors?
