Check the Honors College webpage at your school. For some schools, it is just more work and a designation. At other schools, it is smaller classes even of usually large Freshmen lectures, registration before even seniors so you get the classes and professors you want, a professor assigned to mentor you, scholarship money for overseas or research, special housing, help navigating the administrative snafus that can occur, and a special place to hang out and call home that gives a large university a more intimate and less intimidating feel. Each college is different in how they structure their Honors Program.

After you read what Honors entails at your university, email someone in the Honors College and ask to be put in touch with a couple of students in your major who are honors students. That will help you get a feel for if whatever extra work is required is beneficial to you.
