How do students feel about the Maynor Honors College? They say:

Andrea Matute , Class of 2010 -- The Maynor Honors College has truly given me the chance to excel not only as a student but also as an individual. Being in the Honors College has been a wonderful experience because it has allowed me to interact with wonderful individuals who will become lifelong friends, to work with distinguished faculty, and to benefit from opportunities that I would have never had otherwise. The Honors College promotes the learning community and that this is key in the relationships that we build over time with people from different backgrounds, which teaches us about distinctive people as well as about ourselves in ways we never imagined. Overall, the Honors College is a program that not only encourages you to succeed in your college career but it also teaches you the best techniques to use in order to achieve your maximum potential. The Maynor Honors College affects you for longer than just your college career; it ultimately has an influence in who you become.

Sarah Day, Class of 2009 -- Be prepared to change your mind. I went into the Honors College as a student who would strive to excel in classes but I came out learning more than just class rank. My mind and opinions changed throughout my experiences in the Honors College and through each adventure, whether it be in class, on trips or studying in the secluded Honors student lounge. You can learn something about yourself everywhere you go. What matters and what doesn't will change, what you like and what you dislike will change, what is important and what will fall off of the "to do list" will vary; but no matter what comes your way, be prepared for change, for it can be a good thing.

Rachel Loflin, Class of 2008 -- The Honors College is the reason I chose to attend UNCP, and looking back I realize that was an excellent decision. The benefits of the honors college are numerous. As an incoming freshman, the Honors College provides support through a network of peers, professors, and advisors that help students succeed at levels they would not have thought possible. Its basically like you come in and you already have your own support group built in. In addition, students are eligible for early registration, participate in special interdisciplinary courses, have access to a computer lab reserved for honors students, and are respected by faculty throughout campus. Perhaps one of my favorite aspects of the honors college is the interdisciplinary courses that only honors students can enroll in. These courses offer an opportunity to interact with students who are really interested in learning, will contribute to the class, and make the overall learning experience more productive and meaningful. Overall I would recommend the Honors College at UNCP to any student that wants to get the most out of their college experience.
