All students–whether admitted as a first-year or transfer student–who participate in the Honors Program LLC are required to live in HP housing in Eighth Street Apartments for their first year (first semester only for spring transfer students).  

After the first year, rising second year students have the option of living in Honors Program housing or off-campus (refer to the acceptance agreement for first-year students).  All other upper-year students (including those who were admitted as transfer students) are offered housing on a first-come, first -served basis, up to the capacity of our residence halls.  We are able to accommodate many–but not all–upper-year students who would like to live in HP housing, but it is not required beyond the first year.  

For information on housing rates for Eighth Street East and South, go to the Housing and Residence Life website.  Check out this information on the apartment layout, including a 360-degrees tour!
