@hopefully16 if you are admitted to the Honors program, you must live in IV to be accept that offer. If you choose to live elsewhere, you also forfeit your membership in the Honors program. Kind of messed up imo because it’s the most expensive housing for freshman and I don’t like that they make you to pay to play, but it is what it is. For what it’s worth, it’s far and away the best freshman dorm; in building dining hall with significantly more variety and options imo than the others (more than just burgers, pizza, and a sad salad bar like every other college dining hall), small in building gym like you might find in a hotel, AC in dorms, semi-private bathrooms (shared with your roommate and suitemates- 1-3 others). I also really liked being with all the honors students, and almost all of my friends are from my floor in IV. I also didn’t feel like I missed out on the “LLC experience”- because the building is so big, there are RA programs almost daily in all sorts of topics.

As far as non-LLC, you’re right that there’s no opt-out choice. However, if you want to live with people of varied interests, Fusion would be your choice. This year, Living Green is Light Hall. I have no idea how hard it is to get an LEED certification, but Light is an old building and I can’t imagine it passes any high level sustainability/efficiency thresholds. It is always subject to change.
