<p>I am going to be attending Hillsdale- planning on a major in Econ and minor in greek- beginning next fall, and I have received a letter about the Honors Program. I am wondering about the intensity of the program and the amount of time that would be required.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>The Honors Program is tough, and requires significantly more time and effort. Find a student ambassador who is in the program and ask questions of them. From what I witnessed, those who loved it, loved it and those who didn’t, quit.</p>
<p>Okay, thanks. I am going to email the director of the honors program to ask him to direct me to a current member of the program, so that I can ask a few questions. </p>
<p>I think that I will apply. It sounds like something that I would really enjoy, and some extra rigor can’t hurt. If I truly don’t like it, I can always quit.</p>
<p>My son’s friend dropped out of the Honors program after only one year - too hard. My daughter’s friend, who is a freshman, LOVES it. </p>
<p>Good luck! and I hope you love it too!</p>
<p>Is the program really worth it in terms of its after college benefits ? 
I received an invitation letter and considering whether I should apply.</p>
<p>That probably depends as much on your post graduate plans as anything else. If you are entering your family business - honors is nice but really, did it matter except to you? If you plan on Harvard Law, probably is the way to go.</p>
<p>My plans are definitely slanted toward the latter although I am open to possibilities and dont believe in letting opportunities pass you by !!! :D</p>
