<p>What are they like at your school? do you recommend participating in it? thanks 4 ur help.</p>
<p>I'm in one. Priority registration, scholarship money, honors classes. If those things are your cup of tea then yes.</p>
<p>i am also in one.. they have great programs like lectures or "tea talks" as they are usually called, have trips to plays and games and concerts, most honors students get scholarships, the honors classes are smaller and with more advanced students, and we get to register a little earlier... there are also honors floors in the dorms, but i'm not living on one this year</p>
<p>I'm in the Honors Program at UC Riverside and I love it. I never would have met any of my friends if I wasn't in it. The best part about being in Honors is priority registration. We get to register with the seniors and athletes and we're only freshmen! I've already registered for next quarter and I know some people who aren't in Honors who have to wait like a month to register.</p>
<p>They also have Honors halls in the dorms and I live in one. It's great because everyone is so smart and funny and interesting. The honors classes are pretty good too. The Honors program here does require you to do community service and personal growth, but they aren't that bad. They are totally doable. I hope this helps!</p>
<p>Thanks sounds like a plan!</p>
<p>dw805, i was seriously considering going to UCR because of the honors program. it sounded so attractive and it seemed to be a lot better than the other honors programs that i've heard of (including UCLA, where i go now). I'm glad you're enjoying it!</p>
<p>Students in honors programs at large state schools have additional perks that the average student doesn't. These include smaller, more discussion-based classes (like the ones typically found in LACs), opportunities to do research with faculty, opportunities to take graduate-level courses, special dorms, and satisfaction. Also, graduate schools look favorably on students who have taken the challenge of an honors program, because the classes are more rigorous and standards higher. You usually have to do a thesis or culminating project before graduating--my cousin who graduated from Penn State's Shreyer's Honors College wrote one about St. Theresa de Avila, which deals with his minors in Spanish and History.</p>
<p>michelec--what schools' honors programs are you interested in?</p>
<p>How do you get in the Honors Program? My admissions counselor was talking about me joining it.</p>
<p>I'm interested in Rider University, Cabrini College, and Immaculata University's Honors programs. i especially like the honors/study dorm idea!</p>
