<p>I was just admitted to the Honor's College, and they invited me to come to one of the two honors weekends to check it all out, but I don't really know anything about it.</p>
<p>Is there anyone who is going or who has gone in the past that could give me some insight as to what it is exactly? I haven't visited Tulane yet, so it would be a great chance to see the campus.</p>
<p>So.... What are your thoughts?!</p>
<p>I went to honors weekend last year and I highly recommend going if you are able to. They have all different activities set up for both students and parents. You have the opportunity to stay overnight with a host. My experience with my host was horrible, but all the other hosts were great. You meet with advisors and schedule your classes, even if you’re undecided whether or not you want to attend. I met many great people with whom I have remained friends with, my current roommate included. It will give you a good glimpse into life at Tulane.</p>
<p>Just to echo gabby, I highly recommend that you go one of those weekends if you have the flexibility. You will be with your Honors Program peers, and it is a great chance to meet a potential roommate, especially if Butler is your first choice although as Gabby’s experience shows it works even when you want to be in Monroe. Also, getting advising and registering for classes that much ahead of other freshmen is no small thing.</p>
<p>When are the honors weekend? I was going to call but if you know the dates I would appreciate it. My son got the mail but it was completed mangled and partially shredded so we couldn’t really make out the info.</p>
<p>well. they’re not actually weekends (which is weird) but its march 20-21 and april 10-11… those might not be the exact dates, but its the sunday and monday right around those dates. tell your son congrats!</p>
<p>Actually it isn’t too weird, because you have to have a day there when there are classes in session. That way you get to sit in on a class or two and see campus life both on a weekend and weekday.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>I knew Tulane was the place for me after attending an Honors Weekend. I then served as a host-student for the next 2 years and 6/8 of the kids i hosted chose Tulane. It’s a great program if you either come alone (my experience) or with your parents. HUGE advantage if you already know you’re going to Tulane bec you can plan your courses and get priority registration.</p>
<p>^^and potentially find a roommate.</p>
