Residence Life
- First Year
All first-year honors students live together in the Honors Commons at Cornerstone, with some overflow in Keystone House in the case of a large cohort. Cornerstone Hall is part of a dynamic residence area known as Tri-House, bordered by Innovation House and Keystone House. Living together is a key part of building community, and the friends you make in the honors living-learning community as a freshman may very well stick with you through your senior year and beyond.
Cornerstone, like all UNCW residence halls, comes equipped with many amenities: study rooms and lounges on each floor, kitchens, laundry rooms, wi-fi, etc. Rooms are double-occupancy (sometimes triple-occupancy in the cases of very large rooms), organized into “pods” that each share a communal bathroom. Honors residence assistants (RAs) reside with students, conducting programs to build community and helping first-years adjust to university life. Honors students will also live and socialize with students outside of the College, as the Tri-House area is home to other living-learning communities and non-honors students.
