[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honors programs at state schools are jokes. They're just marketing scams.[/quote] My DC was in one - it required an additional application after being admitted to the university and it was competitive as other kids from DCs high school were not admitted. There were definitely benefits including freshman housing in a desirable dorm with other honors students, honors advising, honors only seminars (you were required to take a certain number in the first 2 years) and honors only discussion sections of some intro classes, social activities, etc. It made a large school seem smaller, and the advising was very good. So for my DC it was better than a "joke", although certainly kids not in the honors program had great experiences too.[/quote] Nobody calls my baby ugly. :roll: Drink up, mom.
