Honors Housing

The first-year Honors living-learning community is an extension of the Honors classroom. In their first year, students live together in Anderson Hall. All first-year students at AU are housed on South Campus, so Honors students get the full first-year experience.

As a member of the Honors community, you'll be supported by Honors Program Associates (PA) who attend your Honors classes and lead the HNRS-150 lab, as well as Residential Assistants (RAs) who live on the floor. Your RAs and PAs provide the living-learning communities with special programming such as outdoor outings, study sessions, and game board nights. Participation in a living-learning community is a great way for Honors students to connect with ambitious and studious individuals dedicated to academics and a rich social life. Placement is through AU's Housing & Residence Life.
