Upper-Division Honors Housing

UConn housing is managed by Campus Housing, not Honors. Please pay close attention to Campus Housing communications, processes, and deadlines.

There may be opportunities for students to continue living with Honors peers beyond the first year, both at UConn Stamford and UConn Storrs. All of these communities support students both academically and socially.

Upper Division Housing Policies

  • You must be approved for on-campus housing before being considered for Honors housing.
  • You must meet all Housing application deadlines.
  • Space in upper-division Honors communities is limited, and placement is not guaranteed.
  • Remaining in Honors housing after your first year is not required.
  • As long as you are in Honors and eligible for on-campus housing, you will have the option to request Honors housing. Living in a non-Honors community for a year won't change that.

    UConn Stamford

    Space in the Honors residential community in the Lillian (87 Franklin) may be available for upper-division Honors students. Eligible guaranteed students will be contacted directly about their interest after meeting all Campus Housing deadlines.

    UConn Storrs

    The Upper Division Honors community is located in Snow Hall, Connecticut Hall, and Shippee Hall:

    Snow Hall

    Snow Hall is part of South Campus, along with two other residential buildings and Rome Commons, which contains a dining hall. Students enjoy living in South Campus for the picturesque campus views, close proximity to Storrs Center, and easy access to the center of campus.

    A typical 4-person suite contains 2 bedrooms, a common room, and a bathroom. More information about room features and amenities.

    Connecticut Hall

    Connecticut Hall is the newest addition to South Campus. Like Snow, Connecticut Hall features suite-style living and the benefits associated with the South Campus location. It also includes a large dining hall.

    There are multiple suite configurations from which to select. The typical 4-person "semi-suite" contains 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The 4-person "full suite" also includes a living room. More information about room features and amenities.

    Shippee Hall

    Shippee continues to be available for students who wish to continue living in traditional doubles while maintaining connection to the Honors community. Shippee is located near Storrs Downtown and a short walk from the other Honors communities in South Campus.

    More information about room features and amenities.

    • To maximize space for Honors students in these communities, non-Honors roommates are not allowed.
    • You must indicate your preference of Honors Upper Division Housing on your Housing application.
    • All three halls constitute a single Honors Upper Division Housing community. By completing the Residential Community Acceptance Form, you commit to selecting a room in this community so long as space is available anywhere in the community at your selection pick time.
