HeyJose,
Once again, sorry about the delay. Medical school makes time more difficult to keep track of some weeks.

Cooperative is the best description of them I can think of from your list. You’ll get to know your classmates pretty well (especially if you live in Honors housing) and there’s really no reason for a harsh competitive nature and most students get that. Even if you don’t end up friends with your classmates for some reason, I think you’ll find that a strong academic drive and good attitude/manners coexist quite well in the Honors College. I always felt there was a pretty good “work hard, play hard” atmosphere with the students, particularly in the Honors residence hall, where there’s pretty much always some sort of activity going on in the common areas to help you wind down after a test or take a study break.

I know that’s brief, but if there’s something else you’d like to know, just ask.
