<p>I remember that I didn’t actually find out that I had gotten into honors housing until I actually got to filling out the housing application. There might have been a message beforehand that I didn’t see, but I got a message for it through my my.pitt.edu email.</p>
<p>Anyway, I would definitely recommend living in honors housing. You get to meet awesome people and get to live in some of the best freshman dorms; sutherland hall is spacious and comfortable. I don’t know how good Nordy hall, a new freshman dorm being build this year, is going to be, but it’ll probably be hard for most kids to get into.</p>
<p>PS: Pick as low of a meal plan as possible. If you get a tier a plan, you will have more food than you could ever destroy your self-image with. I’m serious! Dining hall food is pure crap soaked in oil for your artery clogging pleasure. Dining dollars are your best option. They can be spent at einsteins’ bagels and other decent eating options.</p>
