My son was accepted to honors for Psychology. I have mostly heard good things about honors but one parent told me she was “disappointed” in honors housing and her daughter dropped out of honors because it was “too research focused.” My son is considering Albany BECAUSE of the research opportunities so I don’t think that will be a concern. Some general positives I’ve heard mentioned are:

-students walking around seemed very happy

  • housing is guaranteed for 4 years
    -honors offers early registration
    -honors has many opportunities to develop good relationships with professors
    -honors housing (Steinmetz) good for like-minded, more serious students, they sometimes offer guest speakers and lectures there

We have not visited yet but are planning to go to an accepted student day on 4/2.
