STARTING IN THE 2024-2025 ACADEMIC YEAR, Lloyd International Honors College students will have an opportunity to be part of one of FOUR Residential Colleges (RC), each with its own unique theme and open to and welcoming of all majors. Each RC is a living-learning community with on-site classes, advisors, programming, and social activities.
Only first-year Honors students who are planning on living on campus are required to live in Honors housing. Honors students living in any Honors housing may select a non-Honors roommate. Commuters are welcome in all Honors programs.
Continuing Honors students may choose to live in an RC, Gray Hall, or any available on campus residence, but they are not required to live on campus
This living-learning community is open to all majors and will be of particular interest to students who would like to explore issues in medicine, nursing, public health, personal health, wellness, and social policy locally and in other areas of the world. The North Spencer community strives to help students make connections through co-curricular programming, reflection, and shared learning as they relate to broader social impact as part of students’ personal, academic, and professional journeys.
North Spencer Residential College is the original Honors residence hall and offers an extraordinary space for nearly 200 Honors students. North Spencer offers large rooms that are air-conditioned and typically have a sink. It also offers a classroom equipped with global teleconferencing technology, a large parlor for visiting with other students. With on-site Honors advisors, and hosting a range of events and activities, North Spencer is centrally located on campus, next to the dining hall.
This living-learning community is open to all majors and will be of particular interest to students who would like to explore issues of power, privilege, oppression, and intersectionality as part of their personal, academic, and professional journeys.

South Spencer Residential College joined North Spencer and Gray Hall in Fall 2015 as the third living space for Honors College students and is home to approximately 100 students. The Hall is attached to North Spencer and both offer similar room amenities. It has a parlor on the first floor, a large game room with television on the ground floor, a computer lab, and offices for Honors College staff. With on-site Honors advisors, and hosting a range of events and activities, South Spencer is centrally located on campus, next to the Jackson Library.
