[quote=Anonymous]Look at any state university to see what their honors program entails. At some schools, this is something students have to apply to separately, at some, they get asked to participate after submitting an application. I have heard good things about U of Minnesota, U of South Carolina, and Pitt specifically, but I imagine most larger universities have some sort of honors program that a generally good student from DC could qualify for. These programs can provide access to smaller classes in freshman year and greater access to professors and other university resources. These larger schools also tend to give more credit for AP's, so it's possible to place out of a lot of introductory classes that tend to be huge in these larger schools. It's also helpful if a student knows what they want to study and you can therefore look specifically at a program. For example, we were really impressed by the urban studies department at Temple and Rutgers. The math program at SUNY Stony Brook is highly regarded as another example. The research and study abroad opportunities at these larger institutions are also aspects to look at, which we found pretty exciting![/quote]
