<p>So I am thinking of joining my JC honors program and may take a few honors. Does anyone know how much harder (if at all) they are compared to regular courses? Specifically at OCC if you have taken them there. Is it even worth it? I plan on trying to get out of JC in 1 year and apply to privates so would they care? Originally, I was thinking of joining honors to TAP at UCLA but I found out my major is unaffected by TAP and even so, if I did apply to privates after 1 year and get accepted I do not think honors would help at all. My worry is that honor classes would be harder and drag down my gpa when it doesn't help much when not applying for TAP.</p>
<p>Not to be offensive but… their community college classes.</p>

<p>funny that you’re dissing the community college system considering you can’t even differentiate between the words “they’re” and “their”</p>
<p>Honors classes are designed to be more challenging, so that should make your transcript more attractive to transfer institutions. It is always a hard to balance the advantages of having Honors classes on your transcript, vs. the potential GPA decrease that may occur from taking more challenging classes. It would be worth checking to see if the schools to which you hope to transfer place an increased value on honors courses.</p>
<p>And, woeishe, you were indeed offensive. What basis do you have to imply that because honors courses are taught at a community college that they are somehow of little or no value? I suspect that you have none. And, as wheatbread points out, any statement that you may have wished to make is severely diminished by your display of your lack of basic English skills.</p>
