“Living in the Honors House LLC my freshman year allowed me to transition to college life seamlessly. From day one, I was able to meet engaged students who encouraged each other to strive for academic success, while living in a community that ended up feeling more like a family by the end of the year. I would highly recommend this first year experience to any student in the Honors College looking to enhance their experience here at UW-Milwaukee.”honors2

“By living among others with similar academic mindsets and goals, everyone is more open to meeting their neighbors and forming new friendships. There is a great sense of respect for each other and the living environment, which makes the floor feel more like a home and less like separate rooms and suites.”

Alan Singer, Honors College Senior LecturerHonors12015
“Each year I am able to quickly spot the LLC students in my Honors classes. They form friendships and discuss the course material before coming to class. Their collaboration greatly enhances our seminars. I am continually impressed by how the students create such a vibrant social and intellectual community for themselves. I always look forward to taking part in programs with the Honors LLC students. Recently, we visited a special exhibit on pirates at the Milwaukee Public Museum, and on another occasion, we screened a music documentary. These events are always fun and they are a great way for students and faculty to connect and share ideas outside of class. The LLC provides a wonderful environment for students to get the most of their Honors experience!”
