First Year Honors Community

All freshman honors students have the opportunity to live together in a Living Learning Community.  Often enrolled in the same classes, these students participate in study groups, attend in-hall programs featuring the faculty they meet in the classroom, and sponsor a variety of out-of class events and activities.

Hear from students: why do you like living in the honors LLC?

AVA: Few reasons why I like living in the LLC is that the RAs have a lot of experience with the coursework and the kind of load that we’re taking on as freshmen so they’re a really good resource to reach out to when you need help and that the community around it definitely cares a lot about their classes and their classwork and that same drive spreads to community nights and meeting people altogether is a really good experience.

REBECCA: I strongly recommend living at the living learning communities. It is giving me immense benefits. It filled me with a community that cares for school and knows how to have fun. It’s very important in your first year because then you develop good study habits. I really recommend it, not only because there’s a gym and a pool and your own dining hall but also because the people you meet there and the connections you make are just unforgettable and so beneficial for you. I really liked it and I know you would too.
