The Honors Community
Housing
Honors housing is more than just a room; it’s an opportunity to be a part of a community of scholars. Living in honors housing opens the door to interacting with other honors students, participating in seminars and activities and being actively involved in the Honors College. For an inside glimpse at life in the honors community, explore our virtual tour of the Honors College and the West Grace Street Student Housing building.
