@ATTX University Honors has many more requirements to stay in it than Engineering Honors plus your first year you have to live in their dorm; that is the reason my son dropped it. He stayed in Engineering Honors and is still in it. In engineering many of the honors classes are stacked meaning that you are in the same class with non-honors students but you are given a different syllabus that essentially has more work to do if you are an honors student. So it is not that they are grading the tests or homeworks differently for the honors students - it is that the honors students have more work to do for the same grade in essentially the same class. My son has become wary of the stacked honors classes because of this reason.
