Hey, so Im a soon to be freshman at the university of maryland at college park and i just got my dorm assignment. Im supposed to be living at ellicott hall, but im worried about a few things:

1. I researched a bit and it seems like ellicott is exclusive to gemstone students, is this true?

2. If its not, Im just an average attendee, no admission into the honors college or anything, but gemstone kids are supposed to be brilliant. Am I going to feel like forrest gump while Im living there? Will I make friends/fit in?

3. Next to room type it says HONORS DBL. What does the honors mean?

I guess mostly Im just worried theres been some kind of mistake and that Ill be living with people that I wont be able to even compare with intellectually. Please share your experiences and/or leave advice. Thanks!
