Only Honors College freshmen get to live in this building as part of the four-year experience. Definitely bring a lamp with you because there is only a very small light above the door. Bathrooms are cleaned every morning and there's a communal kitchen on the first floor. There are two elevators and lots of common area space to sit down to work or hang out with friends.

The honors college is hands down the best freshman experience you can have. Obviously the simple things about have new and decent size rooms, but also having generally clean bathrooms unless someone being annoying. Where the HC experience becomes even better is the lounges. Personally, The 4 North Lounge is a giant space for literally everyone to hang out. Many of my late night memories were made in the lounge around the HC. Going down to play pool or ping pong. Even setting up in the classrooms in the South Wing Classrooms to watch Star Wars. The honors college gives an A1 experience that literally makes you feel like royalty. In addition, if you have classes in the Academic Buildings are literally one second away.

Living in this dorm literally changed my life. From the moment I walked kn and saw the river view from my room(east wing only) I knew nothing was ever gonna be the same. The rooms are huge,the bathrooms are shared yes but there are so many and so huge u basically feel like u have ur own bathroom. Every wing has a lounge and it's perfect for making friends,in fact all my best friends from college are from my floor lounge. Downstairs there are also seminar rooms where you can study. Like 90% of the best memories I had in college were in this building. Living with your friends in this 5 star accomodation,its truly an experience.
