Honors college vs. LACs?

<p>I plan on eventually going to graduate school, and I don't want to be in a lot of debt by the time I leave college. Compared to LACs, the U of O's Clark Honors college is cheap, but how do you all think its quality is compared to the liberal arts colleges? Is it pretty good? </p>

<p>(I really want to be in small classes. I learn best in a small-class setting w/ lots of time to ask questions, etc.)</p>
