<p>I continue to read posts about housing, but when speaking to students from Michigan I have heard many different things about the dorms. For example, I heard that South Quad has sinks and larger rooms, are closer to classes, but that in the past, most "in state" students opt for this dorm?? I have heard that most "out of state" students can be found on the Hill. ...and the freshmen that don't make either of these dorms are out on North Campus.
I am in the Honors Program, but I think I am opting out of the Honors housing. I know many people choose the program because of the housing on South Quad, but I am not sure that I will fit in socially. Is the mix of students any different in South Quad than..the Hill Housing? Does anyone else in this program have this concern?</p>

<p>Where have you been hearing these things from? Not true at all. There's no such thing as one dorm having more in-state students than OOS. Your corridor might have most in-state kids, but that could just be a co-incidence. Most dorms will have more in-state kids anyway, considering Michigan is 65% in-state.</p>
<p>then are you saying that the mix of kids in honors is the same as on the hill?</p>
<p>Does opting out of Honors housing put you in the general pool? If so, you might be at risk for North Campus which would be a major drag. I doubt that you can select the Hill. South quad has a good location for classes and the stdium/sports facilities. Football players used to and may still room there.</p>
<p>I understand that the location is great, but I am just trying to make sure that I will fit in socially as well. I have spoken to several people who are at Michigan, but none of them have anything to do with the Honors Program.</p>
<p>Hard to imagine a significant difference between S Quad and the Hill. East Quad had the RC hippies but that had little effect on us Inteflex dweebs. Kids are kids. I'd definitely go for location and convenience.</p>
