Honors Communities

University Honors has two Honors Residential Communities, located in Hillcrest and Main Campbell Halls. Living in an “Honors House” provides undergraduates with a “jump-start” on their college experience. An Honors House is an academically passionate community where students live together, take classes together, and work closely with each other.  These peer relationships last a lifetime. Included in the community are upperclassmen, faculty and incoming students. Upperclassmen are available to answer questions, give advice, listen to concern, and direct others to faculty and classes that will enhance their experience at Virginia Tech. Faculty members are available for connections to the academic and professional community. Incoming students provide active leadership, creative programming ideas, and a zest for achievement.

Rooms in an Honors House are available by application only. Upperclassmen students may fill out an application for any semester; rooms are filled as space becomes available. Incoming freshmen students are selected by invitation only, based on their University Honors application. Only a few freshmen will be chosen each year.
