<p>CalAlum, If he’s willing to move, there are a lot of states where teachers are still needed. Here in south Texas, the need is especially acute for science, math and special education teachers, at all levels. Plus the cost of living in not that high. San Antonio and Houston are growing and that shows no sign of stopping. Just something to keep in mind for when he graduates.</p>
<p>sylvan8798, It seems almost all state schools, and many private, have honors colleges. If our son had gone to UT, he was excited about attending the honors college and living in their housing. He’s attending a private college and is in their honors program which also has designated housing. </p>
<p>My only caution is to research what the schools mean when they say “honors college.” For some schools, it really doesn’t mean much. You want to be sure that the honors college will make a meaningful difference to your student.</p>
