<p>Does anyone have any insight into the CofC's honors program? Are the required honors classes much more demanding than regular classes? If so, are the perks - small class sizes, premium housing, and more individualized advisor attention worth the extra work? Since the housing is separate from other freshman housing, does it limit your involvement to mostly honor's students? Thanks in advance for any info.</p>
<p>the required honors classes are a little more work than regular classes, I wouldn't say they're extra demanding, but they definitly require a little more of you. Also, the honors program requires you to do a bachelor's essay in some fields, where as a regular student wouldn't have to do that. THe perks is that if you're in honors you get ot know the people that you're in class with , because more than likely they'll take a class with you again lately. Their is housing for honors theirs buist and rivers, rivers is mostly girls, and then buist is like an apartment where atleast 1 of the people has to be in the honors program howeer it's definitly not extra great housing, infact living in sorority housing, or mcalister type housing is a lot better. I wouldn't say it limits you to your honor students i say you are your limitation to how involved or uninvolved you are. Join school clubs, a sorority, honors board, etc. to get more involved with peers plus taking regular gen ed classes like theater and music appreciation you'll come across a lot of students, most students are very nice and welcoming at the college. I do not think you get more attention from your advisor seeing as you are assigned to an advisor either as undeclared or as you rmajor and that advisor meets with each student individually. The honors program is for you if you can get in and keep your grades up, the perk is getting to register for classes a head of other students,</p>
<p>thanks cofcsororitygirl !- i take it you are in the honors college? coming from the northeast, i am having a hard time finding people familiar with cofc. can you tell me what other schools you applied to and why you chose cofc? many administrators up here aren't very familiar with it but i know it has been getting some good ratings in the past years. trying to figure out where this school fits in academically - similar to which other colleges ? thanks!</p>
<p>I chose c of c, because 1) I live in state, and wanted to stay close to home. I also applied to Newberry College, Presbyterian College, Winthrop University, Furman University. 2) Ultimately downtown is a fantastic area ( during the day) it's absolutely beautiful at the college, the other kids are really nice you could basically make friends just walking down the street. The classes for your major will be small ( es if you're in honors). Also, the professors 99% are fantastic! during the night just because it's in a small city i'd recommend being with a friend! Academically the school has fantastic ratings on the Science programs!!! a great business program, and its been recognized for the education program. However, I would recommend choosing a college that you want for academics vs for a major, because more than likely you'll change your major once you get to college. I received this from the cofc.edu website we have I believe like somewhere between 10-12000 students, out of those there are 600 in the honors college, to be in the honors college the typical scores for sat are 1320/ act 29. and usually in the top 8 % of his or her class. I am biased, because i go there and i will be a senior next year and I have loved every minute of CofC. I'm in a sorority, i've lived on campus for 3 years, i'll be in an apartment next year though. If you have any like direct questions then you can ask...
also! think about rushing for sorority life! if you're coming from far away, a sorority can become your home away from home, and don't believe anything you've seen in movies!</p>
