<p>I have a few questions. I am a student at the university already (in the Honors Program); I began during the summer B semester (almost over - woo hoo!), but I am still getting used to everything and trying to get a lot of my questions answered. And I like lists, so this will be in the form of a list. :)</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Out of curiosity, how many students are accepted into the UF Honors Program each year?</p></li>
<li><p>Is being accepted into the Honors Program at UF really as big a deal as people have made it seem?</p></li>
<li><p>Would including that I am in the Honors Program at UF on my resume be beneficial to me, or would it be of no importance? (I suppose this is a personal opinion question.)</p></li>
<li><p>I have signed up for H-Camp and am awaiting an e-mail confirming that I have a spot (as only 75 students are able to attend). Before I pay the $50 fee to attend, have any other of my fellow Gators on CC attended H-Camp? If so, what was it like and was it a good experience for you? I am not very outgoing and have yet to make any friends, though I have been in Gainesville for a month and a half. I am praying that H-Camp will get me out of my shell, help me form some friendships, and give me the courage to get involved in campus organizations and activities.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Hmm, I guess those are the only questions I have at the moment, but I'm sure I will come up with more. :) Thank you in advance for your answers!</p>

<p>answer to #2 is no, its mostly to cajole smart high school students and/or their parents into going to UF. Once you’re here, it doesn’t mean anything except that you have to take some honors classes and you get access to hume.</p>

<h1>3: Its basically a high school achievement. Theres nothing wrong with having it on there but its pretty inconsequential when you start applying for internships unless you’ve been actively involved in the honors program through recruitment and all of that.</h1>

<p>Definitely go to H-Camp, even if you’re quiet the other people there will talk to you and get you involved. It’s a lot of team-building stuff, and I met a few kids that were in a class I was taking, which helped a lot later on.
Also, being in the honors program isn’t that big of a deal to have on your resume, it’s not the same as graduating with honors</p>
