University Honors Housing
Choosing where to live is a very important decision! Honors housing is available on and off campus. We encourage you to explore your honors housing options!
Honors housing is available for University Honors freshmen in Turner Hall, Daniels Hall (limited spaces) and the honors house at Stratford Heights.
Why do students choose Honors Housing?
Most University Honors students choose to live in honors housing because of the support, level of cooperation and friendship they encounter. These things help to make the transition to college much easier. Honors floors are full of laughter, music, and the occasional midnight pizza party. Students who live in honors housing have told us that they find it easier to form study groups. A freshman student said it best, "I can ask people to turn down the radio if I need to study and they will. Partly because I will do the same for them when they have an exam and partly because we all know each other and want to do well in school."
I am an incoming freshman. How do I apply to live in honors housing?
Once you are accepted by UC, contact the Office of Housing and Food Services to learn how and when to apply for on-campus housing. On your housing application, be sure to indicate an interest in living in honors housing. Turner Hall, Daniels Hall, and Stratford Heights all feature a "Honors Housing" option to select as a preference.
You can indicate this interest before you receive an invitation to join the University Honors Program. Please note that housing assignments are made in the order in which applications are received so it is important to submit the application at the earliest possible date. If you accept the invitation to University Honors, you will be placed in honors housing (based on when the application was submitted and the availability of space). If you are not invited to join the University Honors Program, the Housing Office will look at your other housing preferences.
I am an upper-class University Honors student. How do I apply to live in honors housing on campus?
If you are a current University Honors student and would like to live in honors housing in Turner, you will indicate your housing preference when you complete your housing application. You must be in good standing with University Honors to live in honors housing (see question below for more information). For more information on the housing application process, contact the Office of Housing and Food Services.
What are the qualifications to live in Honors housing?
Current University Honors students interested in living in honors housing should be in good standing with the University Honors Program when the housing selection is made. This means making progress toward program requirements, as outlined on our requirements page.
Students who do not meet the qualifications to live in honors housing will be removed from their honors housing placement. These students will be placed in non-honors housing elsewhere on campus.
If you are concerned about meeting program requirements please contact an honors advisor.
