Being in Hutton can help with Kelley scheduling a number of ways.

Kelley honors classes that are the equivalent of K201, X201, A201, and A202 all meet only two days a week, and in sections of only 30 or so for the first two and fifty or fewer for the second two. Compare that to the non-honors versions, which meet in huge lecture halls and always meet three days a week, with one of the days often being Friday. The honors versions won’t meet on Fridays. Recommendations from professors of the honors classes probably carry more weight than non-honors professors for references for admission to business honors.

Also, you can take honors colloquia instead of survey classes in COAS to help fill out your gen eds. Survey classes are often huge and often meet three days a week. The honors classes tend to be less than thirty people and rarely meet Fridays, and usually have easy grading. The big survey classes tend to have heavily weighted departmental midterms where you can have a bad day and hurt your grade. The colloquia often don’t even have exams, just small papers. You get to interact with the top students and professors in these classes. And it is always good to have your Fridays free.

You can also get very detailed descriptions of course content and required assignments well in advance of signing up for the class for many of the honors classes. Here are descriptions for Fall 2014 honors courses, including the cross-listed courses. More info will probably be added for many of the classes.
