I was accepted to the UCSB L&S Honors Program and was wondering how helpful this program is. Should it be a huge factor when I am deciding between which colleges to attend? The website is a bit vague on what advantages honors students get
Fourth year honors student here. Honestly, it’s still vague to me what advantages are.
Basically, it comes down to
- Priority registration. You get classes more easily than everyone else, which is very helpful
- Honors sections and seminars. You have to take a number of these to graduate with honors. Basically, you work more closely with instructors on more in-depth projects. Kinda feels like more trouble than it’s worth to me; there’s not much guidance offered by the honors program in how to navigate it all.
