Housing for Honors
students is available in the Honors Learning Community
(HLC), in Harshman Dunbar. The Honors Learning Community
is an excellent option for Honors students.
The HLC is available to all Honors students
who sign up for it on the web. It is also
available to the roommates of Honors students
(even if those roommates are not in the
Honors Program). If you choose to live with
someone who is not in the Honors Program,
you and your roommate must request each
other as roommates when signing up for housing.
The mission of the Honors Community is
to create a seamless educational environment
that supports the goals of the University
Honors Program. Members of the Honors Community
pay $150 each semester to live in this interactive
learning community.
In addition to direct access to Honors Program
faculty and staff, membership in the Honors
Community allows students to attend and
participate in fully-funded local and regional
overnight trips to plays, museums, musicals,
and community events. Likewise, community
members receive free access to computers,
wireless access, meeting space, and books
for use in common reading book discussions.
Members of the Honors Learning Community also have
the opportunity to connect with the community
through civic and service involvement opportunities
and participate in engaging discussions
with faculty and nationally-recognized speakers.
Although recommended, it is not necessary
to live in the Honors Learning Community to be a
member of the University Honors Program
Currently, the HLC is located near the Student
Recreation Center, the football field, the
library, intermural fields and student parking.
All rooms are two-person rooms.
 The atmosphere in the HLC is friendly, relaxed, supportive, respectful, and fun. Social,
cultural, and intellectual events are offered
to enhance your BGSU and on campus living
experiences. This creates a living learning
community comprised of academically talented
students, staff, and faculty.
Living in the HC enriches the university
experience for academically motivated students.
It offers the best of the social aspects
of living with others in a community that
understands and supports the attainment
of academic excellence.
The Honors Program offices are located
in the same residential quad, so in addition
to the distinctive on-site academic and
social programming you receive, you will
have easy access to the Honors Program faculty,
advisors and staff.
The Office
of Residence Life will mail you detailed
information in the spring on selecting housing
online. You will automatically be placed
in the HLC if you are in the Honors Program and you select Honors as your first choice when
signing up for a residence hall.

the process of applying to the Honors Program
