Some Honors are specific to a major/department, others are general honors programs. Depending on the student, that can make a difference for how well the honors program will fit them. We liked the housing to make a large college seem small, going through a set of classes with the same cohort and priority registration.
With a bit of digging, you can also find out how engaged upper classman are in the honors program. Is there any level of mentorship so a freshman has an upper classman to help with questions/class selection etc. Will the honors program provide opportunities to interact with professors if the student might be interested in research. Does it offer special recruiting opportunities.
