It is a home for those whose academic pursuits and interests include an international component, and for action-oriented upper division students. To live in one of these flats, you should want to live interactively with students that share the same interests.
This program also provides a home for study abroad students to orient themselves pre-departure and re-acclimate upon returning to Puget Sound.

Honors Residential Program
The Honors Program at Puget Sound offers students a chance to fulfill their core requirements in courses that focus on classic texts of Eastern and Western civilization. Each year, 34 students are selected to participate in this four-year program. These students will take classes together and build a common base of knowledge from which to draw on in subsequent classes. During senior year, each student in the program will write an honors thesis in their major or field of study and then present their research to the community. At graduation, students who complete the program will be designated as Coolidge Otis Chapman Honors Scholars.
