<p>My daughter is a “non-joiner” from way back. During freshman year she hung out with some Forbes kids and spent time at the dorm, but she was very happy to live in Towers, for the convenience. In fact, she chose to spend sophomore year there, in a single. I’m sure other honors kids are taking advantage of the social outings, but my daughter wasn’t interested.</p>
<p>Every student is different in how they use the resources of the honors college. Top professors teach the courses, which I believe are Ivy-level in terms of depth and scope. But I’m basing that only on the one course my daughter took. I’m sure others are better informed.</p>
<p>To me, the best thing my daughter received from Pitt was the four-year full-tuition scholarship, which I believe is awarded by admissions, not the HC. That has been such a blessing to our family, I can’t even convey how much.</p>
