if it is worth it?

When I was there, you needed 6 hours/academic year of honors courses to remain in the HC, and it earned you priority scheduling. I think it was totally worth it for priority scheduling. The HNRS classes were pretty interesting in terms of humanities courses, and they bridged a lot of subjects together in them (For instance: HNRS 3035 was, at one point, HIV/AIDS, which was classified at 65% biochem, 35% humanities).

should I live in the "Honors House" dorms?

They're very new. Live in the newest ones you get accepted to. There were some weirdos there, but there were some good people in there, too. When I was going through, they were the biggest rooms. I moved off campus after one year there. My roommate was a weird guy. His girlfriend got cold easily, and his side of the room was next to the window unit, so he'd often turn it off. And his girlfriend would stay around until 3-4am playing World of Warcraft or something like that. It was weird, but everyone has weird roommate stories. My sister lived in one of the all-girls dorms during her 3rd semester. Her two roommates would sit naked on one of their beds, indian-style, and eat saltines. While it sounds probably not unlike a dream you've had before, for someone who's not quite as into the letting other people see them naked, it's weird. I'd rather a weird dude and his girlfriend playing video games to that (if I were her). But that's just me.
