<p>The honors program is overrated. I was in it. IV is nicer facility-wise, but socially, no one went out in the halls and met people and all that like they do in the normal freshman dorms. A lot of people sitting alone in the dining hall on their laptops or phones, too. Classes? Enhancing Honors is wretched and required, the rest of them aren’t bad, but it’s just another restriction on your schedule (less control over professor and class time if you have to be in the honors section).</p>
<p>Obviously, that’s just one person’s experience and I knew kids who loved the honors program. Just accept that you didn’t get in and if you still want to do it after the first semester, you can apply then.</p>
