I think OP is asking for schools where the honors program acts like a smaller “school within a school” to get the medium-sized school “feel” her son wants even if he’s at a larger university.

Oh yes - honors program isn’t a “must” - just as thinking maybe being in one of those would make a big school seem smaller if that makes sense.

How about UVA? It’s a great school, even without an honors program.

Clemson has a good Honors program as does USC. You may also want to look into the honors program at UT-Knoxville.

+100. Honors at UGA provides priority registration, smaller intro classes, and a separate honors dorm. I hear that the priority registration is really the biggest perk.
