<p>Seemed to me that the advisors relied pretty heavily on the placement exam scores, in our experience in Engineering, for helping to determine what level you should choose. I don’t know if there are such exams for other schools. My D did end up with two honors courses but that was more through prof selection than the fact that they were honors. She is more comfortable learning from a better teacher even if the material is harder, if that makes sense.</p>
<p>We also stayed at the Holiday Inn, and it is very convenient. But, we didn’t have even one session in Alumni Hall. So be prepared to walk!</p>
