Univ. Of Texas Dallas honors college student life experience

Hello,
My rising senior NMF son is interested in UT Dallas. What is the Honors College experience like? I’m concerned about it being a commuter school. Is there much of a social life? He wouldn’t know anyone being an out of state kid.
Thanks for any insight you can provide!

There are around 200 NMF students per year at UTD, and many (if not most) of them are OOS. They also have a housing scholarship, so they all live on campus together. There are a lot of local commuter students, but there are almost 10k students living on or right next to campus. The campus culture is a little more nerdy and introverted than the typical college campus. PM me if you’d like more info
