Six Reasons to Live With Us

The Honors House is:

1) Diverse:  Honors Students have a wide range of interests in and out of the classroom. We house high-achieving students from all majors and all years.

2) New: West Laville Hall is currently being fully renovated and will be complete in the summer of 2010. In the fall of 2010 West Laville will be the most recently renovated living space on campus.

3) Established: As LSU's first living learning community, we bring 10 years of experience in helping students get the most out of their time at LSU.

4) Centrally Located:  The Honors House is located near Highland Rd. in the center of campus. Living with us will put you right next to 459 dining, near the LSU Student Union, Parade Grounds, and the Quad. The honors house is also within walking distance of the Student Rec. and the University Lakes.

5) Home:  West Laville Hall and Acadian Hall are located adjacent to the the French House, the home of the Honors College, creating a campus and community within the larger LSU campus. This makes LSU feel smaller, while simultaneously putting the resources of a large research institution on your doorstep.

6) Actively Engaged: With current events discussions in the Hot Topics series, presentations on active faculty research projects, and the Louisiana Service and Leadership (LASAL) residential academic initiative, the Honors House community is plugged in to the campus, the state, and the world.
