[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was in the honors program at a big 10 school. I would tell my kids to go to the best school they can. Not pick a school that has a good honors program. No one really cares about that. [/quote]

Agreed, go to college, learn, and have fun.  No one will care whether you go to Michigan or Michigan Honors.  NO ONE, trust me.

After a while, no one will even care if you went to Michigan, as long as you have a degree, maybe.

It won't matter for the jobs, maybe, but it will matter for the experience, right? Why do people join frats and sororities? To find communities they have a lot in common with. For those kids who don't want to party, but want to meet other kids who are passionate about learning, honors colleges are a great option. [/quote]

I don't know...I don't really equate the two.  You can have high stats and get accepted into an Honors College but not be terribly passionate about learning.  There are definitely many kids that are after the ability to register for classes early and a good dorm vs. any social connection.
