Honors Housing
The Honors Program at Saint Michael’s College provides additional challenges and opportunities to outstanding students through group discussion, research and extracurricular activities. Students in the Honors Program may decide to live within the Honors Housing.
Honors Housing develops a strong sense of academic community among its participants by integrating topics from students’ coursework. In addition, Honors Housing provides additional out-of-class opportunities for students to interact with faculty members. Honors Housing provides a community living experience that is supportive of students’ academic success and interests. Finally, Honors Housing promotes students’ academic and co-curricular leadership.
For First Year Honors Housing - priority is given to those incoming first year students who have been invited to join the Honors Program by the Faculty Honors Program Committee. Additional space within Honors Housing in the first-year areas will be filled by those students who have/are predicted to have a grade point average of 3.5 or higher. Designated floors and/or wings are reserved within the first-year buildings for incoming first-year students.
Honors Housing for upperclass students are comprised of suite style, single rooms located in Pontigny Hall and single and double rooms within Founders Hall. Students must have a 3.5 or higher GPA or be approved by the Faculty Honors Program Committee in order to live in Honors Housing.
