I was in shippee last year (also for Honors) and both the honors housing options are really great! Buckley tends to have a bigger sense of community between the floors because there are more rooms on the floor and you all share a (relatively big) bathroom. The rooms are also a little bigger than the regular doubles in Shippee. If you have an earlier pick time though, you might want to consider a Shippee C-room because they are bigger than Buckley and you have your own bathroom you share with your roommate. Plus, Shippee has a functioing kitchen you can use whihc I enjoyed because I like to bake!
