Benefits of Living in the Honors LLC
The Honors LLC is the residential hub for members of the Honors Program, which creates opportunities for high-achieving students to build a sense of community and transition smoothly to campus life. Research shows that students learn better together in community settings, in shared spaces and through shared academic experiences. Students in the Honors LLC don't have to worry about the balance between getting good grades and making good friends. They do both.
In-Hall Academic Advising
Honors Academic Advisors hold office hours weekly in 1300 to bring advising to your doorstep! This includes schedule reviews, questions about classes, registration, and more!

In-Hall Support
All residents have a Resident Assistant that lives on each floor and those in the Honors Community often have RAs who are also Honors Students! They assist your student in their residential journey providing programs, 1:1 connections, and more!
Here's what Lucin has to say about being a Resident Assistant in the Honors LLC:
"Being an Honors RA provides a feeling of familiarity and comfort. I enjoy living around other Honors Students and being able to answer their questions and be a layer of support as the First Year Honors Students find their footing both in the Honors Program and at Temple!”
Programs, Educational Opportunities, and More!
Various programs are held in 1300 specific to the LLC Community. This past year we even held sections of the Honors First Year Seminar (REACT) in 1300! Other opportunities include:
- Scavenger Hunt in Philly

- Workshops & More!
We are always adding new and exciting experiences to the LLC!

Student Experiences in the LLC
Jasmine Smith
“I lived in the 1300 LLC my First Year and have lived in 1300 ever since! Something I really loved about the HLLC is the community that we were able to form and that my roommate who is also an Honors Student became one of my best friends here at Temple. The HLLC is a place to find community and develop friendships.”
Jans Tarriela
“The friends and community that was made in the 1300 3rd Floor Lounge was my favorite part about living in the LLC. Some of the closest friendships that I made came from living in the 1300 LLC as well as being in close proximity to events that I see on the Honors Bulletin. Living on campus and having those events easily accessible helped me get involved more in the Honors Program.”
Jam Stebbins
"I loved living in the LLC my first year, the entire building was set up and designed to foster community. If you want to hang out with your roommates the rooms were big enough, if you wanted to hang out with a group to study or play games 1300 is full of lounges and study rooms, and if you wanted to make late night cookies there was the communal kitchen! The whole building felt like home and I have made some of the strongest friendships while living in 1300 that really set me on the path to having a great experience at Temple!"
