[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which non-honors schools would you Penn State honors program over? UMD? UVA? Michigan? T30 schools?[/quote]

Honors programs are a stats grab. If you get and need the merit, that’s one thing. But if full pay, I’d Definitely choose any T30, including UVA and Mich over Penn State.

Thanks. No merit aid here (yet). Not sure any aid is forthcoming. Deciding between Michigan and Penn State Honors.[/quote]

Look at the coursework at PSU honors. The good programs have coursework not just perks. [/quote]

Unless the job placement of PSU honors is demonstrably superior to non honors…not sure why the coursework matters.[/quote]
A social environment than brings high-achievers together is good. Think of the difference between students in AP classes as a large public school vs those in on-level classes[/quote]Except...98% of your classes won't be with other high-achievers...just a small number of "honors" classes.  Are you claiming PSU basically has an AP-track for many majors?[/quote]Because the average student takes 50 courses each term, only one of which will be honors.[/quote]
