Housing & Residence Life
Residential Based Learning Communities
Honors House
Honors House is located in the Campus River Walk Apartments and is open to *Honors-eligible students only. Each Honors House resident has a private bedroom within a 2-bedroom apartment. A full-time Resident Assistant, who serves as a mentor, guide, and resource person for residents, lives onsite and assists in program development and implementation as well as meeting the individual needs of each of our residents.
Honors programming is offered throughout the year and creates excellent opportunities for Honors students and faculty to interact. Regular weekly and monthly events help build a stronger sense of community and supplement classroom activities. In the future, students will create their own Honors House Student Council that will oversee House activities and provide direction for the future growth and development of Honors House. The Honors Program maintains an onsite office to provide academic advising, administrative assistance, and special program support for Honors House residents.
*Honors Program Admission Information
The Honors Program recognizes that motivation, enthusiasm, and interest are often equally important indicators of academic potential and success as are a student’s rank, grade point average, and other measures of academic abilities.
