Language Immersion Apartments

You do not need to speak a second language to love living in the Global Village. But, if you are working hard to learn a second language and you want to continue to practice as often as you can, a Language Immersion Apartment might be right for you. Depending on enrollment in the program, we can place students in a dedicated apartment where the three residents all commit to practicing the language within the apartment. If you are interested in a language immersion apartment, indicate your preference in the application and we will follow up with you.

Roommates

The Honors College Global Village is designed to mix American and international students in the same apartments. Each apartment in the Honors College Global Village is three bedrooms, one bathroom, with shared kitchen and living space and free laundry. Students may request to share an apartment with a friend as long as they are open minded about welcoming a third student to the friendship. If you have more than two friends who want to live together, we can put you close to one another. The Honors College Global Village is a community. We want friends to nurture their friendships and to make new friends from around the world.
