Honors or academic learning community?
Honors students have a hard time deciding which learning community fits them best. Academic learning communities mean everyone on your floor has a similar major. You’re more likely to have classes with your neighbors, and everyone has a similar career direction.
The Honors Community has a greater diversity of majors on the floor. You will network with people from across campus and have neighbors who understand academic commitment and working toward personal goals.
