<p>Hi I will be a freshman in UGA this fall, and now I am choosing houses. I hear that Franklin Residential College provides many events such as hiking, banquet, cookie night, etc. However, I do prefer academic communications, especially about science. Is there anyone know that whether students in FRC often involve in academic events? What would the environment in dorms like? Would it be noisy? Would there be many social events that may distract my focus on study? I am just worrying about these things because I take my study very seriously and most importantly I want to try Honors Program in my first year. </p>
<p>By the way, how many students can be admitted by honors program during the first semester? Do the officers of honors program only focus on GPA or do they also value activities like hiking or service or something else? Any advice would be useful. :)</p>
