Bumping this thread
Are there any studious high school seniors that would be interested in attending the Barrett Honors College at ASU (in Phoenix/Tempe, Arizona)?
Specifically, would anybody be interested in moving in with me (since I'm 95% sure I'm going there)? The Honors dorms and regular dorms are separate, so I'd prefer to live with somebody in the Honors dorms.
Smash prospects:
-You'll get to play with me several times a week
if that's supposed to be a good thing
-You'll get to play with TAJ and Forward on occasion
-You'll get to play with Axe probably at least weekly
-If Wobbles moves back, you'll get to play with him
-If Light moves back, he'll be available too
Educational Prospects:
"Barrett has a better rep than U of A honors college, but many of my friends who are straight -A students chose U of A. Many graduates from Barrett get into ivy grad schools. Overall, Barrett runs more smoothly than u of a, at least in my opinion." --someone on the internet
"As my username suggests, I have applied to a couple ivies. I have been accepted to the Honors college at ASU (BHC), and even if I get into one or both of the ivies I applied to, the choice would still be difficult for me. I would recommend to anyone closely looking into applying to ASU and BHC. It has the quality of an ivy or private school at a fraction of the cost." --someone on the internet
USA Today named ASU one of the 100 Best Value Colleges for 2010 and specifically cited Barrett as a factor in the recognition,*identifying the honors college as “outstanding.”*
Because Barrett, the Honors College at ASU is so widely recognized for its national success in providing students with university resources that make the honors experience unique and exceptional, the nation’s largest developer of residential communities, American Campus Communities invested 140 million dollars to build the country’s first comprehensive four-year residential honors college campus in a top-tier Research 1 university. The new Barrett honors campus at ASU opened this fall. It was designed by students, faculty and staff and the eight acre honors complex includes: 1700 beds in a variety of units, 12 classrooms, an honors community center (with student lounges, activity rooms, computer and writing labs and a fitness center); a multi-room dining center which features a beautiful refectory modeled after the British university dining hall, and all Faculty Fellow and Barrett administration offices. This is the nation’s premier honors facility and a topic of great interest at the recent National Collegiate Honors Council conference.
In Barrett, students literally feel they have the “Best of Both Worlds.” They enjoy all that a Research I, Pac 10 environment has to offer while having the advantage of living in a community of motivated students. Barrett graduates attend the best graduate and professional schools in the nation, particularly given the outstanding relationships they form with faculty, which is core to the honors experience.
