Hey Guys,
I’m actually not an honors student myself, but I have many friends who are in the honors program at Temple so I can relay their opinions to you. Honors at Temple is a different experience than the typical Temple experience which is a benefit since it makes typical life better.
Benefits of Honors academically
-Stipends
-Small Class Sizes
-Some of the best professors in the country
-personal adviser
Social Benefits:

The honors college always attempts to unite the honors students especially with the LLC
-Honors college host special activities for honors students only

I’m a biology major here at Temple so I will talk about the difference in classes

Normal students are also challenged academically even though SAT scores might not reflect this since Temple gives different types of people a chance at an education
-In Biology, the biggest weed-out course known by all Temple Students is Bio1111 (Bio 1). This course has a 70% failure rate due to horrible professors teaching.
-In honors, the course is challenging but you have an amazing professor who actually cares about his students and reaches out to them.
