THE PEOPLE
Honors College LLC programming offers students many opportunities to connect with Mason’s most distinguished researchers, academicians, and intellectual leaders. Through various programs and partnerships like the Mason LIFE Book Club, the Merten Circle, the Peer Learning Partnership program, and Honors College Connects, LLC participants develop relationships with faculty, local community professionals, and peers alike as they learn life skills that serve them during their time at Mason and beyond THE PROGRAMS Honors LLC programming also extends off campus, taking advantage of Mason’s close proximity to our nation’s capital, Washington, DC. Regardless of whether they are on or off campus, Honors LLC programs are often student-initiated, faculty-led and open to all Honors College students, so that our programs are always furthering Honors College student interests while meeting community needs and expectations. Examples of programs sponsored by the Honors College Living Learning Community include:

THE PLACE
As demand for living on campus has grown, so have the options available to Honors College students. Many residence halls have been constructed and renovated in the past ten years, and include modern amenities and layouts. One such facility, Eastern Shore, is where 180 Honors College freshmen are placed their first year on campus. Placement in this community is very competitive and the earliest LLC applications receive priority consideration. The Eastern Shore residence hall incorporates a community design that gives groups of 16 students shared access to two study rooms, a living room and kitchen. Each of these “pods” include Honors student staff members who are specifically trained in maintaining a vibrant community that meets and reflects the diverse needs of its residents. After such an enjoyable freshmen experience, seventy five percent of freshmen who live on campus return to live on campus again their second year, and dozens of Honors students choose the Upperclassmen Honors College LLC located in Hampton Roads. The hundreds of Honors College students who reside on campus each year also receive substantial support from University Life and the Office of Housing and Residence Life (OHRL), both of which provide a student-centered community that promotes academic success, encourages engagement, and increases an appreciation for diversity among residents. OHRL professional and student staff are also available around the clock to assist on-campus residents and ensure their safety.Copyright © 2011 - The Honors College at George Mason University - All rights reserved.
