robotbldmom - thank you for the welcome. It is very exciting as an alum to see the growth and progress at UA. Yes - he was accepted into the Honors college in November when he submitted his application and additional scholarship information. Yes, he is a NMSF. He definitely wants to be in honors housing with honors/scholarship students if he attends UA. He is an easy going fella and not picky - but definitely would like to be in a housing situation where his roommates are like minded in study habits, etc. He does not even find out his NMF status until February. He has a lot of college options with acceptances and scholarship offers: UGA, UNC, UVA and has two other schools he also applied RD and will not hear until March - which is when he planned to make his final choice after weighing his options. It is very frustrating that the lack of communication about this housing change has caused such anxiety. And the pulling people up (IMO) is not right. That means if the first 500 “slots” all pull up 3 people then all 1500 beds in the honors dorms will be taken. It seems to me they should allow each person to choose in the order applied and do a better job of communicating this process to all admitted students. Thanks for the email, tip lisa6191. Good luck to all.
