Bronwyn Stippa had all but made up her mind to attend new York University. A campus visit to the University of Vermont, where she’d been accepted to a new honors college, was just a favor to her parents. ” I came up and it was just mind-blowing,” she said. Vermont promised Stippa access to top professors and special courses, and a financial aid package that dwarfed NYU’s. In an effort to lure students like Stippa, public universities are developing honors colleges that advertise the cozt qualities of a liberal arts college within the walls of a university.
