<p>I'm gonna be a freshman next year at my college and i was forced into honors dorming by my parents -___-. I'm placed on a floor with other kids in the honors program. from what ive seen on facebook they all look like straight up geeks. I'm fairly smart i guess but im trying to party in college and have a good time but i feel like being in the honors section of housing is really going to affect my social life....</p>
<p>I probably wont party in my hall with those kids so will i find other parties in different halls?
Should i tell people that im in honors housing from the get-go/will they rag on me for being in it?</p>
<p>im just a little nervous because i already know im going to hate the people in my hall so im going to have to go out of my way to have a good time so any suggestions/tips are appreciated!</p>
<p>I think you’re being really, really silly. Not to mention immature. Living in the honors dorm is not going to keep you from partying, and if you’ve decided you’re going to hate all your hallmates before you even meet them you are setting yourself up for failure. You are supposed to be a grown up now, it is time to get over behaving like that.</p>
<p>Honors dorming isn’t just full of geeks. [Literally – most schools’ honors halls are actually only 70% honors or something ridiculous like that.] Believe it or not, we have personalities and hobbies OUTSIDE of studying and aren’t complete losers. Some of us party, some of us don’t. Most of us are social. Don’t walk in with a stereotype about all of your hallmates.</p>
<p>Ridiculous. Honors kids are just basically the more refined kids. Party, but no drugs. Hangout, but no excessive alcohol. Not 24 hour study, but not wait till the last minute.</p>
<p>How extremely arrogant of you to assume that out of all the people in the honors dorm, you’re the only one who’s “cool”. Grow up. Expand your horizons and meet new people.</p>
<p>Well, when everybody in the dorm realizes you’re a snobby ******, yes it will affect your life. </p>
<p>In the off chance that you’re just a normal, good person that just happens to hate a group of people you have never met before, I suggest you just go around parties and buy expensive liquor for everyone.</p>
<p>not much left to add…they obviously aren’t all geeks. in fact in my dorm the honors floor was by far the most social one. let go of your misconceptions and look forward to meeting a lot of incredible people</p>
<p>Joe, you are at college to study and get the diploma. The rest is ancillary: if it comes, great, if not, no big deal. From what I understand of honours dorms, they are better study environments than regular dorms, therefore, these dorms suit your purposes.</p>
<p>“i already know im going to hate the people in my hall”</p>
<p><em>sigh</em></p>

<li>Most important rule about college is to have an open mind</li>
<li>How can you possibly know that if you haven’t even met them? dumb*ss</li>
<li>Honors kids have social lives too. You’re an honors kid, and you claim to have a social life. I’m sure there will be other people like you (well, maybe more open-minded and less despicable).</li>
<li>Your floormates aren’t going to be your only friends, and there’s a good chance you’ll meet your best friends in clubs or organizations or greek life (if you really want partying)…basically outside your floor. You will have more in common with those people you meet in campus clubs and stuff like that. All this is assuming you don’t have a cocky attitude like you do right now…otherwise everyone will hate you too</li>

<p>No, seriously, not all of us honors students are nerds and even the ones that are have just as active a social life as you (assuming you don’t alienate yourself with your geek-o-phobia). You gotta get off your assumptions or you’re gonna get eaten alive.</p>
<p>If you want to party and make new friends go greek. If your parents worry about it just tell them about all the community service and connections you can make</p>
<p>but seriously, high school is over. You will soon realize that in college. People are more mature and less likely to stereotype for stupid ass reasons</p>
