“The honors program is a wonderful resource for high achieving students. Our campus is in one of the capitals of the world, so there are no shortage of opportunities for learning outside the classroom. The partially subsidized study abroad opportunity is the highlight — I went to Italy in May and made a dozen new friends. It is one thing to read about what you are studying, and it is quite another to experience it. ”
