[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honors colleges are mostly there to make parents’ ego feel larger [/quote] Bingo. Exactly this. One of my kids started in an honors college and then dropped it after two years. It simply wasn’t worth the the hype and extra classes that were completely unnecessary and unrelated to the major. Lots of kids drop it after realizing this. There’s no special “honors” indication on your degree, either. Another one of my kids wasn’t in the honors college from the get-go (notably, at the same school for comparison purposes). Even so, they never had TAs teaching their classes, as the OP claims. There was virtually no difference between the two experiences. And both kids graduated summa cum laude, which actually *was* noted on their degree and at graduation.[/quote]
