<p>In terms of GPA, I’ve heard mixed things about honors colleges:</p>
<p>some say that going to an honors college = grade inflation because less classes are graded on a curve.</p>
<p>others say that its more competitive (as in the students there are of course smarter), so your GPA goes down.</p>
<p>What do you guys think?</p>
<p>I believe you have to maintain a certain GPA in order to stay in the Honors Program in most Honor Colleges. So you shall be one of the top students when you graduate from an Honor Program</p>
<p>yeah, but my question is are the honors courses that much harder so that its hard to get good grades, or are they only slightly more challenging?</p>
<p>bump bump bump</p>
<p>The grade question is not easy to answer since it has a lot to do with the teacher. In most colleges there are many sections of the same course that taught by different instructors. Some might be easier in grading than others. I do not believe honor courses are necessary harder but it depends. If your goal is to get a good education rather than worry too much about grades, you shall do fine.</p>
