[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you tell me what you think it means? I’m being serious because we are starting the process with my second kid and from what I’ve researched, the honors colleges sound like a huge negative with the exception of early registration.  My oldest had no interest in these.

It seems like you need to take an extra class  and then live with a smaller group of people instead of mixing with everyone. Am I missing something?  This sounds like more work AND restrictive.  [/quote]

My son got into UMD Honors: what we were looking for was a smaller cohort that would take some classes together and dorm together (at Dorchester, one of the most centrally located dorm on campus, not in the high rises further away), for purely social reasons: my son is a shy introvert, and I thought it would make finding friends easier.

It turns out that he went elsewhere, and did not apply to an Honors program at that other university because none of the themes interested him. And indeed, he does have trouble making friends and socializing... but he preferred that other university, because the major he wants is much more developed there.
