I don’t know much about Northwestern but I assume your analysis is a bit of a stereotype. It seems like you’re predisposed towards Michigan. You probably will not be able to avoid all large classes but there are several smaller classes in the areas you mention. Also in honors many of the discussion sections are led by the professor. The benefit of honors housing is the South Quad location - one of the best on campus. I think you are dealing with stereotypes if you try to categorize the students in honors housing. In any event not everyone in South Quad is in honors housing and if you don’t like it, you can meet people in other activities and it is only a one-year commitment.
