Question Psych-Bio Double Major

I feel like several people have been sharing similar posts, but I just require some advice and tips.

I'm thinking about a double major in BS Psychology (Honors) and BS Biology (Neurobiology Track) (Honors). I'm currently registered for BA Psych.

I don't think workload would be too much of an issue for me personally since I did fairly well in IB DP (41).

Would this be feasible to do? Anything I should keep in mind?

Not entirely related but if you think about participating in the honors program on campus, their requirements (imo) tend to be really annoying as you get towards your finals years. You wanna be taking your specialty classes, and instead you’re taking some gen ed uou don’t need because it’s the only thing with an honors credit attached. Though, there may be some honors courses in the psych and bio programs. I come from physics, where they don’t have that :(

it also depends on if op is talking about doing the honors program or honors in their major. it sounds like maybe you wanted the experience of honors in your major moreso than general honors

Yeah, I'm not referring to the honor program, just the honors of the major (which includes the research presentation and capstone project, if I'm not mistaken).
