AU Honors Admission - Housing Honors Housing Residential Learning Communities Residential learning communities are designated areas in the residence halls where students who share a curricular or cocurricular interest live in clusters. Resident staff share their residents' interests and are specially trained for their assignments.
Residents help to plan and implement activities which complement each of the areas of interest.
Also, the staff work to link the living environments to your classroom experiences. Each year approximately 15 percent of the first-year students are invited to join the University Honors Program. They join a distinguished group of upper-level honors students, many of whom have chosen to complement their Honors Program experience with residency on one of the four Honors Floors, located in Anderson and Letts Halls. An Honors Lounge, located in Anderson Hall, is used for study groups and social activities. These activites contribute to a sense of community, a hallmark of Honors Floor living.
