Traditional students are required by UNCW to live on campus for at least two years. The Honors housing cohort is only offered for first-year students. After that, Honors students may live anywhere on campus, with any other students they choose.
All first-year honors students live together in the Honors Commons at Cornerstone, with some overflow in Keystone House for large cohorts. 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 Hall is part of a dynamic residence area known as Tri-House, bordered by Innovation House and Keystone House.
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.
