Living-Learning Community
All first-year students at Pittsburg State University must live in a residence hall for their first two academic semesters on campus unless they live within a fifty mile radius of campus. For Honors College students living on campus, there is the opportunity to live with other members of the Honors College within a, Living-Learning Community formed in the dorms. By placing Honors College students in rooms right next to each other, they may find it easier to make friends with their fellow members, and even take advantage of their placement to form study groups.
"The honors residence hall clusters allowed me to quickly grow close with the other members of my cohort and it is at an extremely convenient location on campus." ~Hannah Dickens
"I couldn't imagine a better environment to be in when it comes to my living experience at Pitt State. I hang out with members of my cohort daily in my residence hall, and I feel moving to college was a much easier transition knowing I had friends from the Honors College just next door." ~Trip Baker
"As an out of state freshman, I was very apprehensive about dorm life. I was sure that I would feel isolated for at least a short period of time, but I was immediately greeted with a warm welcome from peers that I could truly relate to. I seriously love being a part of the honors cluster, these girls are so friendly and we have really formed a tight knit support system." ~Tae Thompson
