My daughter is struggling to decide between Clemson’s Honor College and UF’s Freshmen Honors Program. She received a sizable scholarship to Clemson as an out-of-state student and will be granted Bright Futures full academic tuition for UF Honors along with admission as an Undergraduate Research Scholar. Does anyone have any insight based on your personal experience at these colleges/programs or if you have a child who has participated in these programs? Any honest and thoughtful feedback about your experiences would be so very appreciated since decisions are mandated really soon!
Here are a couple of cc threads that contain good info on UF Honors Program that might help you and your daughter with your decision. Good luck!

My son is finishing his freshmen year at UF as an Honors student. The Honors camp at UF is a great way to start college life. Bright futures in Florida is pretty awesome. He is OOS so he chose UF over several other schools, a lot of which offered Honors Colleges. He was a NM Scholar and is thrilled to be at UF.
