Not sure what housing options I should be looking at?

I’d go with the honors residence over any of the others. The only drawback is that it is on the edge of campus, but it is right near the Strom and has a shuttle stop right near it if you don’t want to walk across campus for some reason. The honors dorm is definitely not like a library and there is some partying going on there. I think some years are more social than others and it just depends on the students that happen to be in your class. Several years ago the honors dorm was certainly known for some wild parties(this was when the dorm was Maxcy), but if that same group of students were freshmen today the new dorm would also be party central.
Look to see if there is a facebook group of honors students and you can judge for yourself whether or not you think you’ll fit in with this years class.
