Community

Your professors will challenge you to broaden your mind and dive into your studies. If they’re on the honors faculty kickball team, they’ll also challenge you to a friendly competition. That blend of academic rigor and camaraderie is what the College of Arts & Sciences honors community is all about.

You’ll experience it in the Honors Living Learning Community (LLC), where College and Sawyer Business School honors students share cross-disciplinary insights every day in the dining hall and lounges. You have an open invite to special student-planned events like movie and beach nights and a perfectly timed pre-finals relaxation night with therapy dogs. Plus, you’ll have VIP access to visiting authors and speakers who come to campus. Honors students attend cultural events in Boston, and our alums are always excited to return to Suffolk to share their experiences with current students.

Looking to maximize your Suffolk experience as soon as you step on campus as a new Ram? If so, you should consider registering for one of our Living Learning Communities (LLC) to take your learning beyond the classroom while living with fellow honors students.

Whichever LLC option you choose, it will offer you so much including the chance to participate in special programs with professors who’ll guide you through academic, career, and networking opportunities. You’ll live on the same floor as other students enrolled in your program, creating a foundational community where you’ll constantly interact with peers who share the same interests.

Enjoy all Boston has to offer with special honors activities, from community service projects to theatre performances to visits to local landmarks. Recent outings have included a sunset cruise in the Boston Harbor, Broadway in Boston, and a visit to Salem during the spookiest month of the year.
