Other Special Housing Areas

Honors Community**

The Honors Community offers students of the University Honors Program the opportunity to extend the Honors experience beyond the classroom. This housing option places Honors students together on one floor of a residence hall, with the leadership of RAs who are also students in the Honors Program. The Honors Floor will bring together intellectually curious students who seek to widen their perspectives beyond their academic majors and foster critical thinking and self-reflection while they explore Chicago’s rich cultural offerings. Honors students have diverse interests and backgrounds, and are eager to learn about and from each other as they enter a community of scholars. The University Honors Program is our on-campus partner who works with this theme community.
 

For application information, please contact the University Honors Program directly.
 

**Please note: the Honors Community does not complete the Theme Communities application. You will be contacted by the Honors Program in the spring to sign up for the Honors Community.**
