<p>Just as a follow up, my kid was able to get a 4.0 with the 19 credits and said that it really wasn’t too bad. Almost everyone in the Honors Dorm had 19 or more credits, which included a few credits for freshman and honors seminars. The advisor is recommending 21 credits for next semester. The advisors seem to really know their stuff, and seem to have very good reasons for their recommendations. My kid is now thinking about a double major…and is really enjoying SUNY and lots of new friends. The other kid at Penn State isn’t nearly as happy as the SUNY kid.</p>
