So I was admitted into the OSU Honors program and I had a quick question about housing. I have a friend who I would like to room with but she is not in the honors program and I was wondering if we could still room together? we are both thinking about joining the engineering learning community and i wanted to know if honors housing would interfere?
You can live in one or the other - Honors or a Learning Community. If your roommate isn’t in Honors and you want to live together, apply to the LC and hope you both are accepted, then request each other as roommates.
My freshman daughter is in Honors and did not do the Honors housing since she already had found a roommate online who was not in Honors. Also, the dorm used for Honors is old and crappy, which makes no sense to me, but do keep this in mind. Ironically, she ended up in an old, crappy dorm anyway and has become very close to all the other residents (group chats, dine/study/hang out together, etc.). So other than the lack of AC at the start of the year (bring fans), it has worked out very well. She has made a ton of new, diverse friends.
