<p>sorry for the late response, and this is probably all very irrelevant right now. but for those still curious, I’ll try to answer your questions to the best of my ability.</p>
<p>zircushio: sebs is what used to be cook college on the cook campus. I believe the difference is that sebs and sas offer different majors, and if i’m not mistaken, different classes and school-specific programs. also, sebs is also a lot smaller than sas as there are less people enrolled. </p>
<p>letsvolley: the honors housing at rutgers, in my opinion is a lot better than regular. For instance, I live in jameson H on douglass and it’s considerably nicer and the rooms are significantly larger than the rooms in katzenbach or lippincott, where other freshman in DRC reside. mccormick is also nicer than say davidson or any of the BAMM dorms. not too sure about how brett compares to say the other College ave dorms (sorry, not too familiar with which dorms are for frosh), but brett hall is very nice. </p>
<p>and as they say at scholars day, you can be as involved in the honors program as you’d like. so at the bare minimum, you’d be taking 1 honors course per school year and two colliquia before the end of your sophomore year. it’s really not too bad, and the honors course I took, I very much enjoyed. and since the class was significantly smaller, I am now able to ask that professor (who is the director of undergraduate communication studies) for recommendations for scholarships, and she is glad to oblige. the workload is not too bad; it is of course more in-depth than a regular course, but it is very manageable and the level of difficulty varies from course to course, professor to professor. </p>
<p>emag: I’m not too sure on the reputation of the hp after graduation, but I can assure you that it cannot hurt. to prospective employers, it will definitely separate you from other rutgers grads who were not in the hp, and probably put you on par with prospective applicants who went to considerably more competitive schools. </p>
<p>questionss: i don’t know where the honors pharm kids dorm, sorry. probably mccormick or something.</p>
<p>yournamehere: you don’t have to live in an honors dorm. you can still take regular classes with all the ‘regular’ kids. class sizes range from 500 to 20-30. depends on the class. intro lectures are about 400-300 but language classes are usually about 20 - 30 and english classes are like 100. expos is about 20-30, and so are smaller english classes. honors program: you get better housing choices, and a higher chance of getting the housing that you actually want. you get a wider selection of courses you want to take in smaller classes with professors who actually know your name and can write recommendations for you. you get closer advising from deans, who will actually remember you and write recs for you. and just the privilege of being in the honors program. being in the honors program is a pretty big deal since you are the brightest in a school of about 40,000. you represent about a tenth of that number.</p>
<p>clever_name: you don’t have to live on campus.</p>
