Barrett Honors or Michigan?

He hasn’t applied to the UM Honors program yet. That’s what he is working on now. Barrett Honors seems like a good program, but I’m trying to figure out if it can measure up to the quality of UM. Supposedly ASU has pulled all of the Greek houses onto campus to monitor and curb the partying. Though he has said he isn’t interested in Greek life at this point.

We live in the Midwest so he is pretty familiar with UM and is used to the cold. He has spent a lot of his summers in the southwest so he’s also used to the heat. He likes the idea of warm weather, but not enough to be the deciding factor. We are not concerned about race/diversity issues. That has never been an issue for him.

I appreciate all of your comments! It’s giving us things to discuss with him so he can make a decision!
