[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone speak to the HC at Clemson?  [/quote]
My son is a senior at Clemson and has been in the Honors College the whole time.  It's been great.  They are housed together the first year in two of the nicest, most centrally located dorms on campus, with a dining hall in them (that other students can use as well).  Freshmen in the honors college get to register at the same time as seniors, so he's never had a problem with getting the classes he needs.  Each semester they must take an honors seminar, which is guaranteed to be 30 students or less.  Sometimes they are on special subjects, sometimes it's just a smaller version of an introductory-type class.  The professors for those have always been great.

But he has complained a few times about feeling isolated from the rest of the freshmen class that first year, and how he kind of wishes he had been mixed in the dorms with everyone else.  So I guess there are plusses and minuses to it, from that perspective.  You do have to apply separately for the honors college-- it's a separate application, so make sure your student fills it out if they're interested.[/quote]
