<p>wrestlersdad, we must have been at the same session! I know what you’re saying, but I was hoping my daughter would take one honors course a semester. She came to Pitt specifically to be part of the honors community. If she’s not in the housing, and not taking any honors courses, I don’t see how she will meet honors kids unless she bumps into them at random. But it’s her choice, not mine, and maybe something will strike her fancy next time. I see this first semester as one of getting acclimated and getting used to college. It’s a big adjustment. Maybe it’s best not to load up on academics. But of course the kids need to be challenged too. We’ll soon see!</p>
