What's the advantage to Honors College?

As a Pitt alum, I would really like to see Pitt either make the honors college into a more cohesive program (like the Schreyers program at Penn State), or just stop calling it the honors college altogether. It should be a membership thing. IMO, Pitt’s UHC really can’t compare to other programs in terms of content and perks. The courses are sort of hit-or-miss, the housing is inadequate, the advising is poor and I did not detect any special assistance to locate internships or jobs. What is the benefit really, unless a student used the honors thesis as a head start on graduate work.
