Honors Dorm and Lounge
One or two floors, as needed, in the Twin Rise dorm are devoted to honors students. On the seventh floor, adjacent to the dorm rooms, is a private honors lounge, outfitted with a computer lab, a fully equipped eat-in kitchen, a living room, and a meeting room. These spaces allow honors students to work and play together when they're not in class. View an interview, shot in the honors lounge, with a recent honors program graduate.
