Lloyd International Honors College students can join one of three themed RC communities welcoming to all majors. The RC Program brings the close-knit experience of a small college into the heart of a large university. Through small classes, shared experiences, and meaningful connections with faculty and peers, students find opportunities to learn, lead, and grow together.
As one RC community, students can explore three themes:
- The Arts – Ashby RC
- Sustainability – Strong RC
- Health and Justice – Spencers RC
Each theme offers specialized courses, programs, service experiences, leadership opportunities, and traditions that connect students’ interests with life beyond the classroom. RC courses can also help students fulfill General Education (MAC) requirements. Whatever your interests, there is a place for you in the RC Program.
First-year Honors students living on campus are strongly encouraged to choose a Residential College for easier access to events and community life. Honors students may room with a non-Honors roommate, and commuters are welcome in all Honors programs.
Additionally, incoming students not applying for admission to the Honors College may apply to live in one of the four Residential Colleges.

Applying for RESIDENTIAL COlleges or Honors Housing
You are strongly encouraged to live in one of the four Residential Colleges (North Spencer, South Spencer, Ashby, and Strong) if you are living on campus.
- Upon admission to Lloyd International Honors College, you must confirm your acceptance to the Honors College.
- You will need to fill out a UNCG housing application, including the Housing prepayment fee. The application for new students will be open online from February to May.
- Incoming Honors students who have fully completed their Housing application may select their room during the Self-Assign period in late April, as communicated by Housing and Residence Life.
- Once you confirm your acceptance to Honors, Lloyd International Honors College will inform Housing and Residence Life that you are eligible for Honors Housing. After receiving confirmation, Housing and Residence Life will open Honors Housing to you in Artemis so that you may Self Assign to a Residential College when Self Assign opens.
- Students who confirm acceptance to the Honors College, apply for housing, and pay their $200 prepay earlier rather than later will be given access earlier in the Self Assign process.
