Honors Residential Experience

Life in Honors

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.

For questions or more information, contact Director of College Life Libby Hannon.

  HONORS RESIDENTIAL EXPERIENCE
TARGET POPULATION Admitted Honors students
LOCATION Lewis Hall
Haggin Hall
DESCRIPTION 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.
NEW INCOMING STUDENTS Admissions decisions for the incoming Honors class will be available on February 15, 2025. New students admitted to the Lewis Honors College are automatically eligible for the Honors Residential Experience. However, admissions to the Honors College does not guarantee a room in either of the specified halls. Prospective and new students need to first complete the University of Kentucky Campus Housing Application. Those who are eligible will participate in priority room selection windows starting March 2025.
RETURNING STUDENTS Returning Honors students should complete the University of Kentucky Campus Housing Application. Room selection for returning Honors students will continue on a first-come, first-served basis. Room selection will be focused in Lewis and Haggin Halls.
ROOMMATES Both returning and new Honors students have the ability to bring a roommate of their choosing with them into the space. The roommate must be a University of Kentucky student but does not need to be enrolled in the Lewis Honors College. In these cases, roommates should be aware that there are no connected courses or programming. Honors students who want to room with a non-Honors student will need to provide roommate information directly to UK Housing during the room selection process.
