<p>UNC-CH Honors or UF Honors for undecided science major (Neurobiology, pre-med or maybe science-math teacher) ?
Any advice, opinions ?</p>
<p>The Honors program at UF is really what you make of it. I’ve worked in Hume, and the students who live there are pretty cool. The floors vary sharply. Some floors are more social then others, but many of them have their own distinct interests. For example, I know of one floor that has several individuals who play Yugioh Cards games. </p>
<p>As for the Honors Requirements at UF, it certainly isn’t very steep. You only have to take four honors courses. There are many academic options such as Honors Chemistry 1, Chem 2, Calc 1, Calc 2, Calc 3, English, etc. Then there are uncommon reading program type 1 credit classes which are based on the discussion of particular books, and even a ‘21st Century and Starcraft’ course (I’m currently signed up for this during the Fall). I recommend taking Honors Professional Development. It’s a one credit course and it talks about campus involvement, internships, study abroad, and other useful information. It’s an easy way to knock out 1/4 of the required honors courses, and very useful. </p>
<p>There are other honors courses varying from topics such as Global Issues, Pharmacy, to classics, and the arts. One of the biggest benefits of taking classes in the honors program is that they are capped at 25, which generally makes them more intimate and social. Honors advisers are also another benefit of the honors program. They are often alot more caring than regular academic advisers, and will sit down and talk to you about all of your goals, plans, and how to make them a reality. </p>
<p>Back to the topic of Hume, it’s an overall great place to live your freshman year. Many people move to other dorms because they’re alot cheaper than Hume. Hume is nice, but it is pretty expensive. I would recommend it if they extra cost isn’t a big deal to you, but if your family is financially strapped, I would recommend living in another Residence hall, preferably the Murphree area. Personally I’m a little biased as I’m a Resident Assistant in the Murphree area and currently love it, but it’s truly one of the best places to live on campus. It’s next to all of the cool places to eat at West University, footsteps away from Farrior Hall’s academic advising, Honors advising on the 3rd floor of the infirmary, Recsports gym, Moes, Little Hall(where many classes are), Turlington, the chem building, etc. It’s just an overall amazing place to live in terms of campus convenience.</p>
