Honors College

I am wondering about Honors courses as well. We sat in on regular classes that were on the roster for ones to visit for visiting students and frankly the level of the classes seemed quite a bit below what my child is used to from High School classes. Little participation, fairly low level of discussion, nice but not stimulating or challenging lecture material. The classes seemed aimed at above average but not excellent students.

My child has a chancellors for which we are thrilled and grateful.

Could anyone currently having a chancellors tell me what the intellectual opportunities are for chancellors/honors students beyond the general classes we sat in on. I know there is a Chancellor’s seminar. What is that like?? Other opportunities that we do not know about? I would love if you could share a sense of the intellectual and social life of honors/Chancellor’s students --perhaps as compared to those not in those programs.

Are there any classes or extracurricular opportunities about which you would rave and recommend??

Thanks to any of you who can give us a better sense of what intellectual/social life might be like.
