I know people who went into the honors college and one who chose not to participate. The ones who did said that the only real difference besides registration preference is the fact that you are surrounded but other students who work hard and party less and that helps them to stay on track. The one who chose not to joined a big fraternity and became a part of the executive board and then part of the interfraternity council. He is VERY involved on campus and in his fraternity, my honors friends not so much. I don’t think that living on campus has ANYTHING to do with your involvement on campus because most of the off campus housing may very well be considered on campus because it is so close to classes…closer than the dorms in some cases. I myself plan on pledging and getting involved with a fraternity rather than living in honors dorms. You may be surprised at some of the excellent students who are in fraternities…you just don’t hear about them as much as you hear about the slackers.
