I’m somewhat confused about honors housing. My son was accepted to Pitt and told he qualifies for the honors college. The brochure that came says that first-year students live in Litchfield Tower B where there are four floors devoted to first-year honors college students. Then it says that upper-class students have a variety of options including Forbes. Can anyone comment on this and explain a little more about the honors options? If you are in the honors college do you automatically live in honors housing? Are there advantages? It sounds like the towers is automatic for first-year and then there are options later on - is that right?
