<p>Does anyone have any insight into the SB Honors Program? My son was admitted and is weighing the benefits of SB vs. Geneseo Honors.</p>
<p>it’s a great program! Relatively small size and there’s a nice scholarship in addition… I don’t know anything about Geneseo’s program, but Stony Brook is a top research institution and as an honor’s student, research opportunities with great professors are easily accessible. </p>
<p>Stony Brook is great for sciences/engineering/pre-med… if your son is interested in poli sci/econ/“soft-er” sciences, I do not recommend it–there are a few good professors, but the programs aren’t that strong and the school (especially the honors program) REALLY stresses sciences and LOVES its pre-meds.</p>
<p>So why do they have to take CHE 131-134, then? :P</p>
