@Commiserating One regular class and two honors classes.

Honors here isn’t anything special. It’s a must if you have a scholarship, because that priority registration lets you target the easy profs and get the seats in the blowoff electives that you’ll need to maintain your GPA. But really, I’ve taken most of the honors sections that have been offered so far, and probably 80% of the time they were identical to the other sections. You still sit in the same lecture hall with 200 people and do the same work. The professor might throw in one extra “honors” question on the homework, that’s the only difference you really see.
