Student Perspective

“Living in the Honors residence hall gave me a community that became a support system in my academic, personal, and professional life. Living alongside other Honors students helped me create strategic study skills, learn how to manage my time, and deal with stress in a healthy way during my transition to college. The Honors community is a place and space where I was able to laugh, relax, and also develop perseverance”.
