I have been admitted to an honors program at UT Austin in the CNS school. It’s the Polymathic Scholar program. I’m interested in living in the “Honors” Quad. Got my housing contract and I need to rank 5 dorms. Any advice on which is best for a freshman CNS - Neuroscience major? Andrews, Carothers or Blanton? Please help me rank these 3.
My son isn’t a neuroscience major and his first choices are Jester West/East but after that he ranked Andrews, Carothers and then Blanton in that order. I think Andews and Carothers might be preferred over Blanton bc they have sinks in the rooms. And I seem to recall Andrews and Carothers have slightly larger rooms. A current UT sophomore who lived at Blanton her freshman year mentioned Blanton beds are loftable and some people don’t like to be that high but she didn’t mind. Also she mentioned some of the dorms have co-ed floors and the others are single gender so if you prefer one or the other, this may impact your choice.
