Honors or no?

<p>I meet the requirements for the honors classes but I am reluctant to accept it. Won't it lower my gpa since I am taking harder classes and will it be more workload than regular classes? College is already stressing enough and I'm not sure I want the extra workload.</p>

<p>I assume if you finish under the honors program, you’ll get a special note on your degree saying that you graduated with honors, but maybe you could enroll in the program later on when you’re done with freshman year of college. That’s what I’m going to do with Rutgers next year (UMass Amherst was a former first choice of mine).</p>
