Tappan and Emerson Halls

I am a prospective Honors LLC student at Miami and I have a few questions about Honors Housing:

It says on the Miami website that the Honors LLC was located in Tappan and Emerson in 2013-14, so I assume that it is still located in those halls for 2014-15 and 2015-16?

I know these halls are located at the ends of campus, so I was wondering about walking distance to classes, athletic facilities, and dining halls from Tappan and Emerson?

How are the floors set up in each hall? Are the bathrooms communal bathrooms for the whole floor, semi-private, or private bathrooms?

Finally, do you get to select a preference for one of the two dorms when you select the Honors LLC option as a first year student, or is this selection made for you?

I would appreciate an answer to any or all of these questions. Thank you in advance for your help!

Here is a link with some photos and a tour of Tappan. These are standard dorms - 2 kids to a room. In Tappan, the first floor has girls dorms on one wing, boys on the other. The upper floors are either all female or all male. I imagine the bathrooms are just the normal communal bathrooms.

Bathrooms are communal. Selection is made for you, and while there is some good natured competition between students which dorm has the better rooms, common areas, etc., there isn’t a significant difference I’ve seen. More comments in this thread:

My daughter got accepted into the Honors program and but wants to choose a different living learning community to be in ( Outdoors). Should that be ok? She is doing geology and maybe another major in Environmental science and she loves the outdoors and she also got into the Sustainabliltiy scholars program. Any insight will help.
