Laville Honors House

Living in Laville puts you at the heart of the Honors College experience: academically, socially, and personally.

First-year students in the Ogden Honors College can live in the Laville Honors House located in East and West Laville Halls. This community is made up of a diverse peer group that participates in social, academic, and service activities, and interacts with faculty. 

Students living in Laville are connected to personal and cultural enrichment programs that address communication skills, career choices, studying abroad, and a variety of other areas (not to mention social activities like crawfish boils and other fun events).

Rising sophomores, juniors, or seniors who are in good standing with the university and the Ogden Honors College can live in the Honors Community at the East Campus Apartments.
