[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The honors program was one of the major reasons that I chose Ohio State over other universities I was admitted to. It meant that about 1/3-1/2 of major and some gen-ed courses were offered as advanced seminars capped at 25ish students vs the larger 50-100+ standard lectures. As a social sciences major this meant more writing-intensive/discussion-based courses and the opportunity to complete an independent thesis research project, all of which helped me to get into top graduate schools. SLACs weren’t an option financially for me, but the honors program helped me to develop some of those close faculty relationships and critical inquiry skills on a big campus while staying on budget.[/quote]

Glad to hear this! Two kids in honors programs at big state schools (Wisconsin and Minnesota). So far, the two kids have had much of the above experiences (smaller classes, faculty relationships, and getting to know peers). Only one kid opted to take living learning honors dorm situation, and thinks it’s nice. [/quote]
