Apples and oranges OP. Unless you went to a top 20 university, a lot of the "honors" are fairly lame at mid-tier and no-name schools.

I graduated with student loans and crabs. Sigh.

What a dumb question. Not to mentions, honours degrees (in my field at least) were only good if you wanted to go into clinical research or were just a grade A brow noser. The rest of us spent our free time at parties and all got advanced degrees anyways

I think colleges/universities that draw the overachievers are likely to have more people graduate "with honors"

Most of my friends did at our fairly small private university. I probably was in the lower tier of "with honors" but I still did.

When everybody is special, no one is.

My ex went to Harvard and pretty much everyone graduates with honors. No one gets less than a B+.

I thought Harvard was/is PASS or FAIL???????

What kind of idiot question is this? Of course they don't. Otherwise the "honors" would be meaningless.

This.

No, of course not!!

Most do not. If everyone for the, it wouldn't be honorable, or would just be graduating.

No, you fool. Most people don't have a college degree at all.

If most people graduated with honors that would kinda defeat the purpose.

Just wondering.
