Honor Houses
The college maintains 18 campus houses that are available for upper-class student housing. These houses provide students with alternative opportunities to explore and develop interests and personal relationships through a more intimate residential setting. The selection process during spring semester determines assignments for the following academic year. There are two categories of houses:
Academic Houses
Criteria for acceptance into the Asian Studies, French, German, Norwegian, Russian, Spanish and Diversity Awareness houses are established by the appropriate academic departments.
Special Interest Houses
A group of students may apply for a house to serve as a living/learning experience that will have a special focus (i.e. women's concerns, international issues, environmental issues). Groups applying for a special interest house must submit an application to the residence life office and will be required to go through a careful selection process.

Facilities
College houses are equipped with basic kitchen appliances and furniture. Partial custodial service is also provided. The houses are considered extensions of the residence hall system and all college policies apply. Residents of these houses have the opportunity to elect a full or a partial board plan. Residents of honor houses are not eligible for Interim room rebates or manufactured room rebates.
