Read the NY Times article “Declining By Degrees”; it will give you some insight into the economics of honors college scholarships

Honors College kids are a different breed. They are motivated and capable. They are not immune, however, to the general morose atmosphere which pervades “Detroit in the Desert”

The one CA kid I knew in the HC went there because the financial incentives were too good to pass up. By his own admission he was just clocking his time there (He now works in Calorado)

My $.02: Go to the HC if you enjoy the desert and are in an engineering discipline. If you are financially capable, attend a top-tier UC
