Look at benefit of Honors in each school.
I did not see much benefits at UMD or GaTech.
In UMD I was literally shamed when I told that I do not see reason to take extra social engineering classes about women movements etc that my child is not interested and graduate later vs graduate early with engineering degree. Admin could not understand consept of wasting money when student was ready to work. “Why would you want to graduate early? Student should enjoy time by taking more classes instead of graduating early…”
I was also told that how stupid not to apply to Honors and end up in dorm were you can’t sure who were your roommates…
In GaTech you actually have to pay extra for Honors program and living in Honors dorm…
I do not have experience with Honors at other schools.
I also heard that in some schools students use Honors to get dorm and register first year and then drop, so they do not need to take extra Honors classes. I think that was at Upitt, but I maybe wrong.
