<p>What are the advantages of being in the Honors Program in UMich? I got invited to apply and I am wondering what will I get out of it. Is it a lot more work, more advantages, etc? If anyone can elaborate as to what the advantages and disadvantages of being in the Honors Program are, that would be great.</p>
<p>My son is a second semester freshman and loves the honors classes, the honors dorm, and the honors kids. He thinks that the classes are better because they are smaller and the conversations are more intellectual. It seems to be more about understanding and less about memorizing. The advisors are also amazingly helpful. He highly recommends it.</p>
