Hey everyone. So I’ve been admitted to UF honors as an in-state student and UNC as OOS. I was fairly disappointed to find that I was not accepted into UNC Honors (with a 35 ACT and 4.5 GPA). With private scholarships there is little difference in cost between the two schools. My plan is to study biology (possibly with a chem minor) on a premed track. I was wondering whether the Honors program at UF is beneficial enough to choose UF over UNC. I love the campus and general quiet, intelligent “feel” at UNC, however I’m concerned about large class sizes and getting “lost in the crowd” in the gen pop. I understand that I can apply later to join honors and can take honors classes outside of the program, however I would prefer to start with that smaller community. Which school would you recommend?
See this recent thread for a pro/con discussion on Honor programs.In this case it’s an FSU honors vs UF discussion, but in many cases it would also apply to a UF Honors vs UNC discussion.
