Quick question for anyone who is/was a freshman in UD’s honors program. Do you feel that there is kind of an anti-social and or serious vibe related to the students who live in Redding? Are people still equally as eager/willing to go out and have fun similar to non-honors kids? Just wondering!
I’m gonna be in freshman honors too next year and just my input, you could look at the Facebook pages for honors and regular. I have noticed that the kids who post on honors definitely look like less of the partying type so I am kinda thinking that they are more the stay in and study type… but then again there are kids like myself who do… I think that there being 500 of us, the vibe will be less social but you will still be able to find a good number of social kids. I’d like to hear from someone who lived in them this year too though.
Thanks for your response!! Same here.
I have been seeing the same thing. It seems like everyone on the housing portal goes to bed at 10, wakes up at 6, and doesn’t drink at all. All of which isn’t really my scene. I’ll have to check out facebook to see if there are other people who aren’t all the stay in and study type.
My son lived in Redding the year it opened (2013). He was not in Honors. He did not wish to be. However, that year the first few floors of this building were not Honors. Even though he had a best friend from home upstairs from him on an Honors floor, he had a completely different set of friends. His opinion – the Honors floors had many more rules, including quiet hours. And yes – he generally didn’t think the students in Honors were the “party type”. I would expect that Redding Hall will generally be more quiet than the other dorms.
Any more on this? I’m moving into Redding and am curious to see if the vibe has changed since 2013 or if it’s still relatively anti-social. I’m definitely very interested in going out, so it is a matter of concern for me.
i live there now and i have a huge group of friends from my floor that i go out with every weekend… most floors have groups like this
