Jack Baroudi: And we have somebody who wants to know should they, would you recommend doing the honors program? And why?

Raymond Lucas: The staff associated with the honors program, phenomenal, they always take an interest in every student’s curriculum, activities. And everyone in the program, some incredibly smart people so you’re going to be taking class with these people throughout your four years forms a nice little community right off the bat.

The other thing I’ll say is academically, it’s great. You’ll get access to much smaller classes which gives you a lot of one-on-one time with professors.
