<p>I was recently accepted into the Honors Program. Does anyone know the perks associated with it? Is there honors housing or anything like that?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Hey! I got into the Honors Program too. I've been doing some research about it. Mainly, you get into special "Honors Classes" which contain around 20 kids, and cover more complicated and in depth issues and subjects. When you graduate, you are designated as an Honors student, which will look favorable. Otherwise, I haven't seen anything about special housing or stuff like that.</p>
<p>I was accepted into the honors program for next fall... It doesn't seem to be anything too incredible, based on what I've read. Like mrfrizzle said, you take different, smaller classes with more discussions.. and I think you take part in some independent research project (Capstone?).</p>
<p>I don't know how beneficial the honors student designation could be either...</p>
<p>I'm an honors student and what mrrizzle said is right. You just get into honors classes which may be smaller and are more discussion based. There is no honors housing. About the top 10% of every class is in the honors program. There is no special benefits other than that except when you graduate you are given the honors designation.</p>
<p>Pyar, aren't there two major benefits besides special classes:</p>
<ol>
<li>Priority registration</li>
<li>Acknowledgement of honor's status on both the diploma and transcripts?</li>
</ol>
<p>Oh yeah, i forgot about that. When you register for classes, honors students register before everyone else. And yes it does say it on the diploma and transcripts.</p>
<p>how did u guys applied for honors program? or they just offered u guys by the grades?</p>
<p>It was offered if your SAT/ACT and GPA were high enough I assume.</p>
