<p>Hi, I’m a freshman at Fredonia (Momof3Stars’ daughter, actually, for those of you that have seen her lurking about). I’m also in the honors program at the moment, and i think you said that your son has been accepted for that? Congrats, btw! </p>
<p>Yes, it’s true, Fredonia is quite cold, but it’s not as snowy as you would expect. Then again, this is coming from someone who’s lived in upstate NY all her life haha. In non-weather related news, I’ve found this year that the whole campus is really friendly, and there are tons of music-related and non-music related student groups worth looking at. Plus there’s SUCH a good music scene even aside from music school related events. For example, we have an awesome radio station, which anyone is allowed to have their own radio show on, and there’s Open Mic Night every two weeks or so, which is free to perform in or watch, and it’s so fun to go. </p>
<p>On the school-related side…if your son feels like he wants to do the honors program, he should totally go for it. You only have to take 4 honors courses in the entire course of college, which is even easier cause they count for CCC credits too. And the courses they offer are awesome. For example, I’m taking a Theatre Arts course called “The Entertainment Imperative” this semester, and a couple of the courses offered for next semester included one about the psychological effects of the Holocaust (social sciences) and a western civ. course focusing on Dante’s Divine Comedy and his life. </p>
<p>I think that’s about all I can think of to tell you right now. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!</p>
