[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you convince DC that flagship state schools are not all that they seem?  DC is at a small private and is obsessed with finding the “college experience” of football, social life, community etc but has always been in [b]small classes, small social circles, easy access to resources etc.[/b]  [/quote]

This is a description of most public state flagship Honors Colleges.[/quote]

I actually don't understand this point whatsoever.  Honors Colleges only have small classes for the specific classes required by the Honors College...it's not like they offer their own sections for someone who wants to major in Engineering or Finance or the other very popular majors.  Now, perhaps those upper level classes on their own are not huge.

I know just as many kids who dropped out of the Honor College because of the extra bullshit they had to do, as ones that remained in the Honors College.[/quote]

Not true at SC either. Classes in all majors with honors college sections. Yes, including finance and engineering [/quote]

That’s not what my kid’s best friend in the Honors College at SC says…but maybe that kid is picking very unique classes within the finance major…or maybe the honors section just doesn’t work for their schedule.

It seems inconceivable to me that every major and every class somehow can have honors-only classes, unless a huge percentage of the schools is honors.[/quote]

Why would this be “inconceivable”? Most honors colleges are larger than LACs. [/quote]
