<p>I don't want to be in my college's honors college. I don't feel that I have benefited from my honors classes so I didn't sign up for any for the spring semester. I have the option of taking a non honors class for honors credit but I am concerned that the extra project will take up too much time and I already have a busy schedule. I also could take a one credit honors seminar but then I would be short on honors credit in the long run. </p>
<p>Employer wise I think all they would see on my transcript that I took a couple of honors classes for 3 semesters and they wouldn't really know that I quit. I don't like the idea of quitting but my honors classes have been extremely stressful though not because I didn't understand the material. I can probably keep my goal up for Latin honors and stuff like that. I'm also planning on grad school and they care more about gre and gap and letters of recommendation. </p>
<p>Anyone have any advice?</p>
<p>Goal and gap in second paragraph should be grade point average. My phone won’t let me abbreviate it</p>
<p>Personally, I don’t think it really matters. Honors programs are great, but they’re not for everyone. If you can keep it up, then why not, but if you feel you’d benefit from not being in it, then do whatever you want. </p>
<p>I know a lot of people here on CC are very pro-Honors Colleges, but I personally declined my university’s for similar reasons to yours. I didn’t see the benefit with our particular program, and I already have a lot going on with 2 majors and a job and everything. However, I won’t say that it doesn’t look good. If you have 2 people with identical stats and one has an honors degree, they’ll get the job. That’s why you really have to make yourself stand out. You’ll have to work harder by not going the honors route, but it’s not the end of the world.</p>
<p>I doubt they’d even question it. They see the degree. That’s basically it. GPA isn’t even really all that important in the long run, once the degree has been awarded.</p>
<p>I highly doubt they’d even know you dropped out of the honors college, let alone ask you about it. If you’re not planning on working until after you get your graduate degree, then it would be even less important, since they’ll probably care more about your graduate degree than your undergraduate degree.</p>
<p>And if they do ask about it, just say that the way the honors program is set up at your school, you weren’t getting anything out of it. You decided that your time was better spent on more important and enriching activities like getting work experience, research experience, volunteering, etc.</p>
<p>^^ nice advice. Thanks all!</p>
<p>More importantly, no one will know.</p>
