My daughter was in the honors dorm as a freshman, ll freshman, plenty of partying (there were ambulances at the freshman dorms all weekend). Another daughter didn’t apply to honors until second semester, she she joined the business LLC that was housed in a freshman dorm, she said it was so worth it (she is also very social and goes to a lot of bars and parties, and there was definitely drinking in her dorm, I think that’s the norm). She complained to her RA when her handle of vodka was stolen from her unlocked dorm room, didn’t get much sympathy (RA’s just don’t want to see it).
