Data from for this research were collected from semi-structured, one-on-one interview sessions with interested students.

How do they cope with these challenges? 2) How do these students develop a sense of belonging in the Honors College? a) What makes them fit into the honors program? b) Why do they stay in the Honors College? c) What issues of belonging do they experience in the honors college? How do they respond to these issues?
