Honors College students in their first year live together in University Heights. Second year students are also in the University Heights North or South buildings, which together comprise the Patrick Leahy Honors College Learning Community.
In Patrick Leahy Honors College communities, students learn together in their Honors College classes, grow together through advising and peer mentoring, and participate in courses and programming that enable them to find an academic work-life balance in college.
