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.
