[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of the offerings of a big state school (research opportunities, lots of clubs and activities, athletics, diversity, etc.) with a small college feel (small classes and seminars, getting to know the professors, nicer/smaller dorms).

- Graduate of honors program at my big state university and hoping for same for my kids[/quote]

That was my DC's experience in an honors program (her school didn't have a full honors college -- sorry if this is off-topic). She had a mix of small honors classes similar to classes at a SLAC, along with some regular classes and a mentored thesis involving some interesting research. The honors residence hall was full of studious kids who enjoyed learning. There were lots of fun activities for the honors students, which helped my rather shy DC make some good friends. It was a great experience and very affordable (public university + merit aid). I feel she got a better education than her siblings, who went to high-ranked private universities. [/quote]
