Honors College at Albany

My S was admitted into the Honors College at Albany. I was wondering if I could get a student perspective on the experience. How were the required extracurricular activities? How rigorous were the classes?

That is great. I was just curious, what was his gpa and sat scores?? Also, did he have to apply separately, or did they automatically admit him? I am a parent as well, and I have asked the same question on this thread,however, I never got any feedback. My son is a sophmore in high school, so he is stll young, however, he likes business and Albany has a very good business school, so I was looking into the university as well.

I have done research and I know they get some perks like early registration, separte dorms where it may not be as loud etc. I do know they have to do a thesis or a sr project. From what I can gather, the courses go into more depth, but are not crazy hard. I guess it all depends on what your son’s major is.
