Merits of an honors college in an unranked university?

<p>While the Harriet Wilkes College seems interesting (especially given that New College of Florida started out in much the same way), the honors college offerings look extremely limited [FAU</a> Catalog - Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College](<a href=“Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College Course Descriptions | Florida Atlantic University”>Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College Course Descriptions | Florida Atlantic University) especially given that most of the classes aren’t offered every semester (here’s the course schedule for Fall 2013, note that most classes are just intro ones <a href=“http://www.fau.edu/divdept/honcol/forms/schedule_f13.pdf[/url]”>http://www.fau.edu/divdept/honcol/forms/schedule_f13.pdf&lt;/a&gt; ) so your daughter will take classes with less academically accomplished peers (at least that’s what I’m assuming). </p>

<p>For discussion purposes, I’m assuming you’re in state, so you should try to drive down and visit. Ask questions about what students do when they exhaust the honors courses in their field of study, if it ever gets too suffocating, etc.</p>
