Hello!!! I am entering Mt. SAC in quite a unique scenario and want to make sure I am making the right choices. I’d love to get some questions answered from a student’s perspective:

1. Is the honors program significantly harder or more time-consuming compared to high school AP/IB classes? Also, are honors courses mostly in-person classes?
2. Are people open to making friends in in-person classes, or is joining clubs better? If you recommend clubs, which ones should I look into?
3. How or is there a campus culture? Are the counselors helpful, and is there a major difference in approach between honors vs. non-honors professors, counselors, etc?

A little bit about me: My name is Samantha, but a lot of people call me Sam! I love reading (mostly classics and memoirs), hiking, cats (I have 3), and going to concerts. I want to become an environmental lawyer, and I play guitar, ukulele, and harmonica, even though I suck.

If anyone wants to be friends, share tips, or anything I should know, please feel free to message me!
