<p>Is it worth doing? How great are the advantages of the program, compared to just the regular LSA college? ANy opinions are appreciated!!</p>
<p>i heard you get the discussion group with the prof rather than the gsi, but i don't know how true that is.</p>
<p>that's true for some courses, like ECON 402 this coming semester, but you may have misunderstood or the person may have misspoke. Usually, honors courses are actually a lecture-style class with a professor that is the size of a discussion. There are some cases, though, where there are only honors discussion sections of a larger lecture, and these can be with a prof. Either way honors classes are generally smaller, more demanding, and you learn considerably more. Other advantages: South quad housing, extra class availability, extra scholarship/award opportunities. Too many for me to list.</p>
