[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Penn State and the Universities of Oregon, South Carolina, and Kansas are examples of "just fine" flagships that have truly stellar honors colleges/programs.[/quote]How so? Please elaborate people [/quote]Because your Google is broken?[/quote]OP asked for “and why” - so move along if you have nothing to offer, thank you dear [/quote]Identifying the programs offers much more value than transcribing those programs' web pages for a perfectly capable adult.[/quote]

I will try to elaborate the problem.

Folks will say an Honors program is great, but at these flagships, they mostly amount to priority housing, priority registration for classes and some $$$s.

All great perks…however, it’s not like you are at a school within a school.  98% of your classes are just the classes everyone takes, and the “honors” classes are merely general ed classes and sometimes you also are supposed to do a special honors project.

This is why many UMD honors kids decide to drop out of the program (if you believe some UMD people)…the extra work outweighs the benefit and job placement is no different.

When touring Clemson, sounded exactly the same.

So, yell at us to Google it ourselves…but is this really what flagship Honors programs are when it comes down to it?[/quote]
