Albany Honors college vs Binghamton

[blevine]

<p>My S got a merit scholarship and is well qualified for the honors program at Albany.
Interested in economics and public affairs/administration.</p>

<p>He is leaning towards Bing because of the reputation and general
grades of his peers at Bing, but I am concerned he is missing out on
Albany, being near the state capitol, given his interest in public service.</p>

<p>Any advice ?</p>

<p>My daughter went to Albany as a safety but did extremely well, was a top student in her department. she had two internships for credit and a part time job in the community in her field. her friends had internships with various government divisions. If he really wants to work in public affairs definitely Albany.</p>
