FRESHMAN HONORS LIVING & LEARNING
COMMUNITY
The Honors Living & Learning Community is a highly selective and
challenging program that allows academically advanced students to
live together, collaborate on ideas, participate in challenging
research concepts and grow as a student, while developing
connections with like-minded individuals. Freshman Honor students
live in one dedicated wing of Faulkner Residence Hall, take select
Honors courses and participate in a summer reading program, guest
lecture series and other opportunities to be leaders on campus.
