<p>I keep hearing the program is a joke and that there are no real advantages to being in it. I don't really want to take extra classes to meet the requirement, and I'm not planning to live in Hume. Is this a stupid idea, and am I giving up any awesome opportunities? I'm an incoming freshman by the way.</p>

<p>Oh, and the honors class I'm currently signed up for is Honors Calc 2, which I got roped into taking because it was the only honors class that fits my schedule, and I'm definitely scared for it.</p>

<p>You can drop anytime. The biggest advantage is the early class registration…I think.</p>

<p>No reason to, just don’t meet any of their stupid requirements.</p>

<p>Don’t officially drop out, just don’t take honors classes and don’t go to honors advisors.</p>

<p>I think I’m technically still in the honors program, but I havn’t met any of their requirements, I suppose I’m still in cause I still have a year to take 4 honors projects and meet one of their “pillars”. Yea right.</p>

<p>Early class registration is just for honors classes. Only National Merits have real early registration (it’s awesome to have).</p>

<p>are there lots of other people who have done that?
i just dropped my honors course…hopefully i won’t regret it</p>

<p>why wouldn’t you want to take the honors version of classes you have to take anyways?</p>

6

<p>i feel like i could make an a in regular calc 2 but not honors</p>

<p>That’s a good decision. I was in a similar scenario and I decided just to take regular Calc 2. My advisor said Honors Calc 2 is much harder.</p>

<p>I can see how you’d be disenchanted with the program, but it does have some benefits. The honors advisors are pretty helpful and the honors classes are a lot smaller. I took Honors Calc 3 and Differential Equations and they seemed easier than their non-honors counterparts. Calc 2 will probably be difficult no matter what though. You can definitely manage to find some honors classes that will meet some of the requirements for your major. I didn’t live in Hume either (I think it’s absolutely ridiculous how expensive it is!) but I met a lot of really nice people who did because of the honors program. Maybe not taking honors calc 2 is a good idea but I think the program is worth it :)</p>
