@4momOhio Grateful for your feedback. My kid is a total grind, and I want him to have fun, too. He will work hard, either way. I totally get the advantage of early registration. That is huge. But the one older student I know in honors engineering recommended against it. She felt it restricted her choice of courses too much. Just one person, but food for thought. If he is accepted into honors (a BIG if), I will want him to research it carefully. Engineering is plenty hard! It is not like he’ll be in class with weak students not be challenged.
