Why Do Honors Programs in Colleges Matter?

[bodangles]

Honors colleges are good for students who can’t afford a better private college and can’t afford a better out-of-state public. Otherwise, if you can get into your state university’s honors college, then you could probably get into a much better overall college elsewhere. Honors colleges are bogus.

They vary wildly in quality and selectivity, so grouping them all together is…wait for it…bogus.
