My son is a freshman at Schreyer Honors, PSU.
Honors classes are open to all but Schreyer kids get priority registration.
I have been amazed with the level of advising he is getting. He has a major advisor, an honors advisor, will have a thesis advisor and there may be another advisor in there somewhere. He is having a great experience but does say that a lot of the kids are in “technical” fields - science and engineering.
I would advise you to visit and talk to the kids. My son was not a typical big university kid. He went to his first football game this year for example- He really likes the other kids in his program but I would say it is very much a “school within a school”.
