Honors Community & Housing

As an Honors student, you will be a member of a close-knit community of scholars within the structure of a prestigious, Big Ten research university.

Student Groups

University Honors Student Association: All Honors students belong to the University Honors Student Association. UHSA plans various social and community-service events throughout the year and provides numerous opportunities for leadership and involvement.
Honors Multicultural Network: As a subgroup of the University Honors Student Association, the Honors Multicultural Network seeks to provide BIPOC (black, indigenous, and people of color) students in the University Honors Program with a space to meet and voice their unique concerns on a predominantly white campus.
Honors Mentor Program: The Honors Mentor Program supports incoming students through their first semester in the University Honors Program and to provide leadership experience to UHP students in their sophomore, junior, and senior years.

Honors Residential Community

Middlebrook Hall—the designated home to the Honors Residential Living Learning Community—is one of the University of Minnesota's most popular residence halls. Featuring double rooms with semi-private baths, Middlebrook also offers common areas on every floor for relaxing or holding study groups or informal gatherings, as well as additional building spaces for special events. Located on the West Bank Campus, Middlebrook is central to many social and intellectual events, offering honors students the opportunity to live, study, and socialize with their peers.
