To each his own, I know a current honors student at GW who loves the program.

Kid is doing L&S Honors at Wisconsin. It's definitely a value-add, but it's not a closed-universe gam-changer like Barrett at ASU or similar.

My DC didn’t want to deal with the essay for honors college at UF and is now regretting it after seeing the new Honors Village!

Please spell out. There are multiple schools that each of these acronyms could mean.

Extra work. Well worth it. Living experience created a great group of core peers. May have played a role in tremendous grad school admission outcome. Who knows, but maybe (levels up from undergrad rankings). Just one experience.

The bad ones are extra work. The good ones, like U South Carolina, offer more interesting work for the honors kids.

UC Davis Honors doesn’t seem to really provide or help anything. It’s just extra seminar requirements and many kids end up dropping it. The kids at Davis are really nice and from DC’s perspective you make friends in the dorms, clubs, Greek if that’s your thing, gym, and classes that you don’t need the honors program to find your people. There is no special housing. Registration is moot because the high stat kids come in with so many AP and DE credits, they already have it.
