Honors Housing for Gateway Applicants

Colleges and Universities A-Z Penn State
1

<p>Hey guys</p>

<p>I am currently a freshman at Penn State, and I was planning on applying for the Schreyer Honors College this spring. I would really like to live in Atherton or Simmons next Fall.</p>

<p>If I make it into the Honors College, will I automatically get honors housing? Or do I have to apply for it separately as a special living option? The problem is, applications for SLO's were due in December... I didn't know you had to apply for honors housing and the Honors College separately.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I lived in normal on campus housing freshman year. After going through the normal housing contract process, I received a contract offer and selected my preferences as Honors SLO. That Spring, I applied to SHC and got in. Honors students get priority. The two processes are entirely separate. However, there are plenty of students that move out every year, so make sure you select the correct preferences when it comes time.</p>
