All aspects of our Honors College, including double occupancy housing, is modeled after elite, small colleges, and peer-model honors colleges. We looked at research, data, and surveyed current and new students.
Having a roommate fosters and develops a number of skills such as strong communication, time management, conflict resolution, adaptability, and empathy just to name a few. It also helps prevent students from isolation and loneliness, which can lead to depression or lack of motivation. Living on campus with roommates helps foster a sense of social and academic belonging; both of which are Pillars of Student Success established by the UT System. Research shows that students with roommates have an overall less stressful, more positive experience leading to better academic performance during their first year.
