Honors Living Learning Community

Honors - Building a Community of Scholars

Join a community of scholars for intellectual pursuits both in and out of the classroom!  

The Honors Living-Learning Community (LLC) is a dedicated floor for first-year students who are also members of the Honors College.  Students will participate in programs that focus on increasing academic achievement, building community, and developing a sense of service.

Benefits of the Honors Living Learning Community Program Include:

Where is the community located?
