FRESHMAN HONORS LIVING & LEARNING COMMUNITY
The Honors Living & Learning Community is a highly selective and challenging first-year experience 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.  The Honors Living and Learning component to the Honors Program is for the freshmen year only. 



Freshman Honor students live in one dedi­cated wing of Faulkner Residence Hall which includes their own Honors dedicated collaborative study room.  Students take select Honors courses, participate in a summer reading program, attend an Honors retreat, receive guest lectures and are afforded many other opportunities to be leaders on campus.
