<p>My daughter started out as a physics/Japanese dual major student, so I am certain that her experiences are different than most. However, I did not get the impression, 011lxu, that students try to take all honors sections as they do in some university honors programs. </p>
<p>My feeling is that students start off in their area(s) of interest and take honors classes that fill general ed requirements and/or are of specific interest to them. My daughter was told by an upperclassman to take the honors physics because that was her initial major interest(and Doc Stewart taught it), but to skip the honors calculus because it got into subjects that only math majors would want to know (she has since switched majors to applied math!).</p>
<p>Once you get on campus, you will get all kinds of opinions as to what you should do. The advisor my duaghter had for her first registration was very knowledgeable about what she should take and also helped her to balance her schedule. </p>
<p>The students I know the best other than DD are engineers, so they do not have the choices a humanities or social science major would have.</p>
