If you plan to live in the Honors Living Learning Community on either the Statesboro or Armstrong campuses, you will need to follow these steps:

Complete your Housing application at this site: gsuhousing.com/apply
Indicate interest in the LLC on the supplemental Residential Learning Communities application
Once you accept your offer to join the Honors College, you will be invited to join the Honors Living-Learning Community. You must follow the instructions provided by University Housing to be assigned a room in the community.

More details about the Honors Living Learning Community and Housing here!

As a first-year Honors student, you have the option to live in the Honors Living-Learning Community (LLC) located in Centennial Place (Statesboro Campus) or Windward Commons (Armstrong Campus).

By living surrounded by other students just as dedicated to their academic pursuits, your drive to succeed will be fueled and matched. Lifelong friendships and networks are formed in the residence halls, and living in the Honors Community will give you proximity to your classmates from honors courses as you form study groups, hold movie nights, or just hang out and debate the big ideas until the wee hours.

We want the Honors Living Learning Community to be your new home, not to replace the one you left behind but rather to welcome you to your life as a scholar. Students like you thrive in these types of environments.

*Note: The Honors Living Learning Community has its own requirements for participants which are located on the Residential Learning Communities application through University Housing. To be assigned, you must follow the steps above and agree to the requirements of the community through the application listed above.
