<p>so unlike a lot of other posters on this thread I actually understand where you are coming from. I was in almost the same situation freshmen year. I signed up for the honors floor - changed my mind because I wanted to be able to party (lol) but then changed my mind again because I didn’t want the hassle of switching, saying that I’d stick to honors housing even though i had no idea how it’d turn out (and was still afraid that I’d be stuck with anti-social weirdos). I had visited honors housing earlier (before I enrolled at MSU), and I was stuck with this really weird girl who introduced me to her nerdy friends and then told me to go to bed at 11pm because we had stuff to do the next day. That was not how I imagined my first day of visiting college. Fortunately this was not how college was like. </p>
<p>Then the first day on campus, the honors floor - was watching a movie their first night. I, on the other hand, didn’t want to watch a movie. I wanted to be social, roam around and go to a party. I left my roommate, my suitemates, and many of the honors kids and went off with a couple of other kids that I met to a frat party (which was awfully lame, but that is beside the point…). I find out later, that it ends up my future roommate and suitemates were doubting honors housing too. But we ended up to be not just roommates but also best friends. I was super lucky - it doesn’t always happen that way. And I made more than a few friends in my honors floor. Yes, there were a few antisocial weirdos on my floor who stayed locked up in their rooms doing homework their entire life. There were the cliquey unfriendly sophomore girls that annoyed me to no end. But there were many normal students who liked to party, who liked to socialize and also liked to study at the same time. (same as any floor, honors or not honors). I eventually made friends and ended up hanging out on a different non-honors floor most of the time, but the honors housing experience wasn’t bad at all (I did chose to leave honors housing after my first year though). And this was for the girls. In terms of the guys, not joking - the honors guys floor was louder/more raucous than any other floor in my dorm (and liked to drink/party PLENTY…the RA even bought his residents booze). </p>
<p>1st of all, don’t be so presumptuous. You have no idea if you are going to hate the people in your hall - you haven’t met them yet. Facebook is NOT a legitimate way to determine how genuine/fun a person is beforehand. A lot of people don’t party in high school but then learn their ways in college. Just because they aren’t the super-partying type early does not mean they don’t know how to have fun.
2nd, if you go to college it doesn’t matter if the students are honors or not. Most of them are going to want to party (and if they don’t now, they are going to want to at sometime or another).<br>
3rd, if you really do find out that the kids on your floor are not as social/willing to go to parties as you are, you are in no way held back. You can easily make friends on other floors, in other buildings, in your clubs, in your classes, in the cafeteria, at sports games etc.<br>
4th, you don’t need to go greek to have fun. I have a few friends in greek life, but it really takes up people’s time and overall I am of the opinion that I don’t have to pay to make friends. Good luck</p>
