<p>My D got a letter about this today. We know about the one at Davis. Anybody know about this or if this is similar?</p>
<p>Bump. My S was also offered this, which was helped take some of the sting out of being rejected everywhere else. There are supposedly Honors floors in the dorms. Can anyone comment?</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>There are Scholars floors for honors students in Anacapa Hall, San Nicolas Hall, Santa Catalina Hall, and Manzanita Village. For exact number of spaces offered, you can check out: <a href="http://www.housing.ucsb.edu/hchoices/reshalls-livlearn.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.housing.ucsb.edu/hchoices/reshalls-livlearn.htm</a> and scroll down to 'Scholars Communities.'</p>

<p>We figure FT would be all Freshman, which would be nice, except that FT appears to be somewhat boisterous. Would any of these other choices be primarily Freshmen, but less bacchanalian?</p>
<p>All of the dorms are all freshmen except Manzanita.</p>
<p>Edit: I live in Scholars in Anacapa, best experience of my life.</p>
<p>Anacapa and San Nic both have primarily freshmen living there, with maybe a couple of continuing students. I lived in San Nic on the Scholars floor and had an excellent experience.</p>
<p>it seems like a nice program...special dorms, first chance at registration, working closer with the professors, grad student library privileges</p>
<p>I wonder if it would be better to go this route than go to UCSD</p>
<p>That's the choice I plan on making</p>
