<p>I actually think it would be preferable that the honors college sit ‘above’ all formal colleges that exist currently, for one simple reason. I would like to have one of the privileges of belonging to such an honors college be the right to change majors to anything you want, without having to worry about impactness. </p>
<p>One of the saddest aspects of the College of Engineering is that if you are doing poorly, as many engineering students are, you may not be able to transfer to some other college that is more to your tastes. So, basically, because you’re doing poorly in engineering, you’re forced to stay in engineering, which is a Kafka-esque punishment. We need to get rid of these restrictions immediately, and I see an honors college as one way to do it.</p>
