Housing Information

The Housing Office will reach out in early June to all Honors College students, asking if they wish to live in Berry Hall in the Honors Living Learning Community (typically floors 2-3). Students who say yes to living in Berry Hall get to select their rooms first. Those who say no (who wish to live in another residence hall) then select housing based on the timestamp of when they submitted the housing application, with the rest of the general College of Charleston incoming class. There is no designated housing for honors students past the first year. 

• Honors College students who wish to live in Berry Hall select first. (If you are in a roommate group with fewer than 50% Honors students, you will select in the next phase.) 
• Honors ELLC students are assigned rooms and do not participate in the room-selection process. 

We encourage all Honors College students to indicate they are in the Honors College when looking for roommates on any platform.
