hi, I just bumped up the other honors housing thread that I had started a while back, I hope it helps. It helped us in our d’s housing decision. I also made a few phone calls to honors pragram after my post and also my daughter went up and spent the night with an honors student. You will get into Cobb only if you request another honors roomate and you fill out the honors roomate form that came with your honors packet. There are limited rooms available; I’m thinking the lady told me about 50 rooms. After that they’ll place you wherever they can. I was told by honors program and my daughter was also told by several honors students that choosing to live or not to live in Cobb would not make any difference for you (pro or con)in the honors program. If you take the Cobb offer you will need to participate in the dorm’s Connected Learning program. In the end , my d decided that she was not going to back out of her promise to room with a friend from home who did not get into honors. Honors told us that there was not room available to put an honors student with a non-honors roomate in the Cobb honors housing, and she is fine with that. After visiting campus and driving and walking around campus both during the day and night we both came to agree with the posts in the other thread who thought that Cobb was somewhat isolated. Even during the day when the rest of campus was full of people, we only saw a few people walking anywhere near there. At night it was dimly lit and again very few people. There were lots of people walking around outside all of the other dorms at those hours.
I’m hoping like Idmom said in my thread that they will put my d around some other honors kids in the dorms. D and her friend put down the usual freshman dorms, E-haus, Morrison, Craig. The honors students that she talked with thought that was a good choice. I sure hope so.
