@PhilaSkiMom We were there for the 4/1 Honors sessions. To be honest we knew that the Honors Program is structured differently, it is not as exclusive as most other prestigious Honors programs are, even though the entry criteria for freshmen is stringent. I see it as a way of taking honors courses and get guidance from Honors advisers. The most exclusive part is if you qualify (and want to do it) is a B Phil program. They said they have just about 40 students who partake in the program. Also, they do have some special awards for doing research if you are part of honors program.
They said they don’t want to create a group within the college who feel one up over the others. I don’t necessarily agree that it is good (or bad) but just stating as it is.
I must say the Honors advisers seemed to be very enthusiastic and motivated to help.
