Accepted freshmen are offered either three years or four years of guaranteed housing on campus. For those offered three years, the off-campus year is the junior year when some students also opt for an international assignment. Four years of housing guaranteed is typically reserved for the Honors Program students and those candidates who did not make the Honors Program but are still viewed as exceptionally desireable candidates.</p>

Does that mean I cannot be accepted into the Honors Program until (possibly) after my freshman year? It sounded like a really intriguing program and I really wanted to be accepted. Thanks, and I’m so happy to be accepted to BC!</p>
