Has anyone received an invitation to apply for the Honors Program. Also, does anyone know the details of the program? Am I required to live in the Honors Village during my freshman year if I am accepted?
I am not sure if you are required to live there - but my son loves it. Great rooms (supposed to be largest), the Quad is a great environment. He’s made lots of friends. They hold activities and events. It’s right near one of the dining halls. He takes an honors course - he enjoys it.
I received an invitation a couple weeks ago in January. The program allows to students to enroll in honors courses which are smaller and facilitate discussion. You are not required to live in the Honors Village but I’d assume most people do since you’ll be with your other honors peers and most of the events through the honors college are hosted near the dorm (you’re required to attend a certain number of events each semester)
The invitation came about 2 weeks ago via email and the honor essay was due back by 2/1/15.
@warriorsoccer, you should check out the NCSU Honors site. It details most of this information there, including the admission/invite dates. 
Thank you to all that replied! The Feb. 1st deadline was for the first application deadline. I did the 2nd so I should receive an invite this week!
How is the University Scholars Program different?
Has anyone received their invitation to the honors program (that applied Nov 1st)
My son did. They sent him an email to apply for it. It was due February 4th and he applied for early admission.
Scholars is in a different dorm-- those are suite style instead of hall style. Scholars are required to attend events - like plays, speeches, etc. Lots of cultural stuff. The dining hall near scholars is not considered as good. In suite style - there are six rooms that share one bathroom and have a shared entrance. The rooms are smaller. You will spend a lot of time with your suite mates. The hall style - you get to know a lot more kids - down the entire hall. In honors - you have to take 12 credits over the four years and you can get some other things approved - like next semester my son is going to do research instead of an honors class. And then a capstone project your senior year to graduate with honors. Scholars - you have those requirements each semester on events you have to attend - a certain number. If you are really into attending things and cultural events - then that might be the choice. If you are smart, like smart kids - want to live and hang out with smart kids - and attend a few classes that are engaging - than honors might be a good fit. (That is not to say there are not smart kids in scholars. I am sure there are.) Most of this is from my son - who is in honors … and from our visits there. There are no attendance requirements for honors that I’m aware of - except for those 12 credit hours.
@college67 and @zburk7 How many essays are required for the Honors program?
As I recall, it was one.
@Joe2015 Three 500 word (limit, not minimum) essays.
Correct, there are three essays to submit
Has any one received the last wave of Honors invites for March yet?
