My D is in Honors and lived in the Honors dorm her freshman year. It was great for her and she is the quiet type. Her best friends are the ones she met in Honors and she joined an Honors Student Bonfire crew, which surprised the heck out of me. She goes to football games and other Honors social events. She also studies a lot with them. The study groups haven’t hurt her GPA. She is a Jr. now with a 4.0 in a very difficult major.

I found the Honors dorm environment to be welcoming and quirky. The kids seem to embrace and celebrate their “Nerdiness” This is just what I saw, I’m sure it does not describe everyone. It was a very diverse group, which is some of the appeal I think.
