What students say about the Honors LLC
"Living in the Honors LLC has been an amazing experience, I was placed in a residence hall with like-minded people who were just as motivated as me. I found that the Honors LLC had such a positive impact on me, that I returned to Manokin Hall (one of the honors Residence Halls for the LLCs) as a Resident Assistant. Having an RA that is also in the Honors College allows first year students to have additional resources to confide in on Honors academics and college life" - Kacie Cassar
"Joining the Honors LLC was the best thing I could have done for myself my first year! I loved living with students who had the same goals as me, and who pushed me to do my very best in my classes. And as a Resident Assistant (RA) of the First Year Honors LLC this year, I get to challenge the honors freshmen to work hard in their honors classes and encourage them to stick with 小蓝视频's awesome Honors College" - Emma Tarnosky
“I chose the LLC since I knew that as an out of state student last year, that was the best way for me to jump start my involvement in the community and to make lasting relationships throughout my college and post-college years. Because I was part of the LLC and went through Honors 111, I feel more prepared to read and write effectively in all of my classes. Being an RA in Manokin is a wonderful opportunity to engage with other honors students to inspire them to do more in the SU community and to be a support system when they may feel overwhelmed with college. Since all of the RAs in Manokin are part of the Honors College, we have first-hand knowledge on what to expect and how to maneuver through extracurricular activities on campus, like study abroad, research and much more” - Jeremie "Jamie" Barbosa
"I chose to live in the Sophomore Honors LLC because I was attracted to the continued companionship, intellectualism and fun being surrounded by fellow honors students offered. Through the Leadership Studies course and late-night apartment debates on everything from artificial intelligence to cats, I learned just as much as I did in any formal class that I took that year" - Ben Lenox
