My S who started in the Fall got some money for UK vs our state university, he is living in the honors dorm. He loves the school, his room mates, the kids on the floor. He says he made the right choice. He prefers the Honors dorm over the other living learning option he had, you have a better cross section of kids just not your major.

Somethings you need to be aware of for the Honors College, first the Honors courses are not a give me, he is busting his tail in the one he has now, second getting a scholarship award and getting into the Honors program are 2 different things, the process is a mystery as far as I am concerned. My recommendation is to apply early and apply to different types and locations of schools (the longer distance matters), all have their own way of doing admissions. As a safety you should apply to Alabama since there process is purely based on test scores and grades, with nothing else mattering. If you are from the south apply to Washington State, U Maine, UNH, Buffalo, Minnesota, U of North Dakota, you need to separate your kid from the pack both grade wise and location wise, then buy him/her an expedition weight winter coat and fur lined boots!

I hope this helps
