[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This reads like a troll post but let’s assume it’s not. The answer is that what is offered will vary by school, but is also not limited to the honors college.

Some schools have honors dorms. Many honors colleges require you to take certain honors seminars that are unique to the college. There may also be opportunities for lectures from outside speakers and engagement with professors that is unique to the college. In colleges where they are well established, the dean is usually a prominent professor that has moved into administration and you have access to him/her.

But these things aren’t limited to honors colleges. Many majors have their own honors courses that are smaller. Some individual schools (business, engineering, etc) have their own honors programs separate from the broader honors college and there may be opportunity to do both.

You can also have a smaller experience in other ways. Greek (both traditional and subject related, like business fraternity), student politics, clubs, and getting involved in your major (for example, at my flagship the Italian program had club nights where they played Italian games, an Italian language newspaper you could write for, a speaker series, etc and you saw the same people over and over). It’s really up to the student.[/quote]

Let me add one other thing, which is that many individual majors that have an honors program can also often have a senior capstone/research course available to the honors students.[/quote]
