Tour our New Residence Hall

The Clark Honors College's Residential Community (RC) has a home in the New Residence Hall (Building B).  

Most first-year CHC students choose to live in the Honors College RC. However, you do not have to live in the CHC RC. Some honors college students choose instead to participate and live in one of the many other RCs offered by the UO. Even if you don't live at New Residence Hall, you still are a member of the CHC RC and can participate in all the honors college events that take place there.
