This is the answer. Most honors colleges promise smaller classes. [/quote]

In my dd's experience, they don't deliver. The only benefits she got were housing (which ended up being only with honors and awful) and early scheduling, which didn't matter because the classes were hundreds of kids. And for whoever replied with "and they have recitation" - do you even understand what that means?? It means DOUBLE the class time with a TA. It's bullshit. It's the class time PLUS another class time because it's necessary to bridge the gap with a class with hundreds of kids. DD transferred to a school with small classes, taught by professors. No recitations. It's D1 and has deep traditions, but isn't a big football school (if that's what rah-rah means here).

OP - you need to look at schools that don't use TAs and don't have recitation.

We tripled our tuition payments to get her out of an honors college at a rah-rah school [/quote]

Can you share the name of the 1st school?  A couple we've checked out do say that honors college kids are in one dorm.  I'm wondering if it's the same one.[/quote]
