Honors Residential Experience (HRE)
Who is it for?
The Lewis Honors College offers the Honors Residential Experience (HRE) for new and returning Lewis Honors College students.
All students who wish to live on campus must complete a housing application. If interested in the HRE, students should select this option in the Living Learning Preferences section of the housing application. Once the housing application is complete and you are admitted to the Lewis Honors College, you will be eligible to participate in priority room selection which begins early March and continues on a rolling basis based on the date you completed your housing application. You will receive an email notifying you of your room selection window period.

Why should I join?
Live among like-minded peers who are intellectually curious and prioritize their studies, well-being, and community. Honors housing provides students with opportunities for engagement in programs that are holistic in nature -- attending to all facets of well-being (intellectual, physical, social, spiritual, environmental, financial, occupational, and emotional). Students in this distinctive community enjoy opportunities to engage with faculty, staff, and guest speakers during interdisciplinary programs. Residents also have access to a relaxation room designed specifically for high-achieving students. The goal is for members to become life-long learners as they aspire to live a balanced life in their communities and society beyond the University of Kentucky experience.
