Living-Learning Community
|
| "Honors students are invited to share rooms and
hallways with their honors peers, creating an exceptional, close-knit
community. Because honors student share many of the same classes
and passions to succeed, the set-up is ideal."
Living in the Honors Living-Learning Community has
many benefits. Luzerne Halls' central location on campus makes
getting to class, meetings, and activities easy. Often times, your
honors classes are conveniently held in the Honors Center, located in
Luzerne's basement! Bloomsburg University recently remodeled
Luzerne, and each floor houses a room for
professors to hold study sessions. Another benefit for living in Luzerne
is the opportunity to move in early. This takes some of the stress
off the move-in process. While the rest of campus is struggling to
find a bin in which to load their belongings, the members of the Honors
Program are at Knoebels Amusement Park, enjoying a relaxing day of fun
and games. Also, Luzerne is a twenty-four hour quiet dorm; this
does not mean that the dorm is completely silent. It means that
the noise remains at a reasonable level, which allows students to get
work accomplished.

Testimonies from
current and previous living-learning community residents
|
"The Living-Learning Community has helped me develop
great friendships with the other students in the program. I found it
easier to open up and get to know the girls on my floor. I also gained a
great support system, as well as amazing study groups. It really helped
with my transition to college life." -Elissa Cook, Sophomore

"The Honors living community has greatly changed my
college experience. It gave me an instant group of friends that have
similar ideals to myself. It is not the "dork floor" like I was scared
it would be, but rather a normal college dorm that is quiet before 2am
(unlike most of the other dorms). It's been great; the people are so
nice and definitely not the dorky kind. We have tons of fun!" -Beth
Schwing, Sophomore

"I am very glad that I chose to live in
the honors wing my first two years of college. It was nice to live
somewhere with "study-friendly" atmosphere. I would visit my
friends in other dorms and be grateful that I didn't have people running
around the hall making a lot of noise late at night. Like many
other students who choose to live in honors housing, I met many of my
closest friends through the living-learning community. Now, I live
in Kile Apartments. It still feels a bit like the honors wing, but
that's because all of my housemates lived in Luzerne with me." -Jessica
Gonzalez, Junior

"Living in the honors living-learning community had a
huge impact on my college experience. The friends I made and lived with
in the living-learning community are still my best friends and live in
close proximity if not with me. It created a support system that is
still a part of my life and will be in the future." -Megan McDermott,
Alumni 06

"I lived in the Honors dorm for my first
two years. I enjoyed living on the same floor and in the same building
as other Honors students. I was able to get to know the other students,
could easily walk down the hall or go to another floor to work on a
group project if needed, and was in the same building as the Honors
Center. Since some Honors classes are held in the Honors Center, I
simply had to walk downstairs for class! If I ever had a problem with
classes or college life in general, I was only a minute or two away from
Honors students or staff who were more than happy to help me. I highly
recommend living in the Honors dorm, especially during the first few
years of college. In my opinion, living and learning with other students
who are motivated to succeed allows an easier transition to college and
can allow you to make the most of your college experience." -Emily
Katzaman, Alumni 06
