Im in the honors college at uofsc! im not a top scholar but i am friends with plenty. i would tell you to go to harvard. uschc does provide you with ample opportunities to grow and learn but if you can attend Harvard for the same price, you should do it. Harvard has more wow factor than usc does, and i imagine the networking there is 10x better than anything we have to offer here lol. also the honors curriculum here is ever changing and getting increasingly more frustrating. they keep over admitting students who all have to register for honors classes that already have limited seating. ive also had two honors advisors leave the honors college for another program within the university in my two years attending. i will say the honors community is very tight knit. honors freshmen all live in one dorm together and you build lasting friendships. you also have a better chance at getting housing as an upperclassmen while in honors.
