[quote=Anonymous]The big difference where I went to school is that the honors college students had their own dorm which had different rules than the other dorms.  They had stricter quiet hours, that was the biggest difference.  NO audible noise through the dorm door on Sundays at all.  You could have music/loud TV/loud gaming going on M-F 11AM-4PM, then quiet hours were 4PM-7PM, more free hours until 9PM when the final quiet hours went into effect.

I had a bunch of friends in the honors college and I loved studying in their dorm for big tests!

They also had more study areas.  Instead of each floor having a lounge + game room, each floor had little study cubbies and only the main floor had a game room.  There were also larger study rooms you could reserve for group study sessions.

I think the other advantages were smaller class sizes and the one-one-one adviser mentoring that happened.  At least that's what I saw.  The honors college adviser knew all of the students in the college, lived in a small residence adjacent to the honors college dorm and had various students over for dinner to connect and make them feel less homesick.  The adviser over my dorm (where I went to school, professors could choose to live in a small house/apartment either attached to the dorm or in the dorm to advise the RAs and students) didn't know any of our names and we barely saw her.
