I’m an honors incoming freshman, and I’ll be staying in Hinton James (HoJo) in the fall, too. Only, I specifically requested it. I’ve mostly heard from people that Cobb is a bit uptight, something I definitely don’t want in my freshman year dorm.

Anyway, HoJo’s always described as the “social dorm” for freshmen. It’s a really nice way to meet new people, mostly because it’s big (it holds 850ish people) and most of its residents are freshmen, so everyone’s looking to meet new people. Sure, the dorm rooms themselves are pretty small and cramped, but if you get creative you can typically make ends meet. And, for most people I know who have stayed there, the experience is definitely worth the lesser quality of the dorm itself.
