Is it worth doing honors?

^You’re kind of right about the honors dorms. In McFadden, one of the freshman honors dorms, you share your bedroom with one person, and that bedroom has one bathroom that is shared with the same one person. It’s not a bad set-up.

My son only looked at honors dorms and Mosher, so I don’t know about the others. But if it’s like it is at every other campus I’m familiar with, you’re not likely to get a single room as a freshman without some sort of ADA allowance anyway. I’m not saying it’s impossible – and I really don’t know about A&M specifically, but I do know that a lot of people would prefer to have their own rooms; and high demand for something often equates to a relative “freshman shut-out.”

Still, I’m like you and follow the principle that it can’t hurt to ask! Good luck! :)
