<p>I don’t think it will be difficult to get into the Towers because they are so big. If you want honors housing, there is a little application of sorts to get it…I don’t think it is guaranteed. Even if you do not live in honors housing, all of the kids in the Towers interact alot. There is quite a bit of studying together, working on projects together, etc. Other students even enjoyed when my son practiced his music and came by to listen. Many kids brought musical instruments. The SPACE (Students Preparing for Academics and Careers in Engineering) floors in Tower B are very popular.</p>
<p>Engineering is a difficult major, but mostly from a time management perspective. However, my son has managed a 4.0 so far. The engineering students study together and help eachother. </p>
<p>There is no problem with getting classes needed for engineering. They reserve all of the necessary classes (for example, some calc classes are reserved for the engineering school), as well as a bunch of select electives. So, I guess in a way, everybody in engineering has priority registration of sorts.</p>
