CCS does have some perks but you should consider the different focus of the two programs. Honors places an emphasis on academic performance, CCS places an emphasis on research. Do you want to get deeply involved in research as an undergraduate? CCS is also very small and easy to reach so you should discuss your options with Leroy Laverman, the Chemistry program coordinator. That being said:

1. CCS has two of the housing units in Manzanita village. All of the on-campus housing options are close. Manzanita is maybe a 5-10min walk from the CCS building

2. The answer to this question differs for every major. For chemistry you can see the curriculum on the CCS website. Note: ‘students will follow a similar course plan as described for the Chemistry or Biochemistry major in the campus general catalog.’

3. There are no special opportunities - students access all the many labs on campus - but the expectations are very different and you will be in a cohort of students who are all doing research

4. It varies a lot by major, I don’t know the figures for Chemistry.
