Honors Living Learning Community (LLC)
Honors students, especially first-year Honors students, are welcome to live in the Honors Living Learning Community (LLC) in Schlosser Hall. The Honors LLC provides students with an academic and social network, in which students are encouraged to pursue academic excellence, engage in campus co-curricular activities, and embody the ideals of campus citizenship. This is a great way to connect with fellow Honors students and facilitate study groups, service projects, and social activities.
