Honors College at ASU and U of A

<p>hi! i’m a high school senior considering barrett on the national merit scholarship and this thread has been immensely helpful in aiding me with my decision…thanks!
i have just a couple of questions right now and i would appreciate if anyone could answer them…
-as an honors student, do you feel like you are constantly being academically challenged. i know that you are mostly surrounded by other honors students but do you feel like your classes are mentally stimulating/as mentally stimulating as what you would experience at a more prestigious private university?
-what’s the social atmosphere like among barrett kids?
-what are the differences between the phoenix campus and the tempe campus? if i enrolled at asu i would be entering as a journalism major at the cronkite school…which i think is in phoenix.</p>

<p>thanks!! any help would be much appreciated :)</p>
