Living Learning Community

Why Honors?

As a first-year Honors scholar, you will live in the newly built Sandpiper Hall. Living in the same residence hall encourages engaged interaction between students and supports academic success. 

As a second-year Honors scholar, you have the option to live in the newly built Terrapin Hall to fulfill your required second year of campus living. However, you may choose to live anywhere on campus you choose.
