Honors House Lifestyle. Honors House is designed to respond to the special interests of students who have been accepted into the University Honors Program.

This lifestyle provides you with the opportunity for academic support, career exploration, and integrated social experiences.

The Honors Lifestyle does not require an application.  As long as you are classified as a Honors Student, you will be allowed to live in this lifestyle depending on availability. 

Students in the Honors Program may choose to live in Honors House, which is located on floors 5, 6, and 7 of Atkin-Colby Hall.  Honors House offers academically motivated students the opportunity to interact outside of the classroom.

Members of the Honors Program Student Assistant Leadership Team (SALT) organize social and academic activities for residents to get to know each other and to learn outside of the classroom.
