8 Park Street is an important part of Honors. Its comfortable couches provide a relaxed setting for seminars. The upperclassmen and women who live there have, over the years, hosted a variety of events cookouts, Halloween parties, dinners for friends. Its study room, with another comfortable couch, is a quiet place for anyone in Honors to work. Every fall Honors freshmen are initiated into the mysteries of e-mail on its two computer terminals, allowing freshmen to become cyberspace junkies so they can write to pals at other schools, for nothing.
Road trips are popular, too.
Rochester, an hour and twenty minutes to the north, is the city of choice. Three or four times a year we attend the Rochester Philharmonic, the GeVa Theatre, or national touring company productions of musicals we've seen Evita, Into the Woods, Phantom, and Les Miz among others. There are other nice deals for Honors students. Some are strictly academic. And there are special Honors library privileges, too.
