Sophomore Honors Village - Opening Fall 2011

Debuting in the fall of 2011, SoHo is Tulane's newest residential college designed with intellectual life in mind. A companion hall to Butler House (Tulane's first-year honors residence hall), SoHo is a place for sophomores seeking a living community rife with opportunities for intellectual engagement. Though SoHo is supported by the Tulane Honors Program, any current first-year student with at least a 3.000 GPA can apply to live there.

All SoHo residents must be enrolled in at least one honors course or honors course equivalent each semester they are living there (those not in the Honors Program will be granted clearance to register). In addition, all residents must contribute to intellectual life in the community by way of participating in residential committees, which will be advised by Honors Faculty Fellows from throughout the University.

More information about this theme living community will be available through the Housing Selection Processes throughout the spring semester.

Sophomore Honors Village (SoHo) Application

Sophomore Honors Village (SoHo) is Tulane’s new honors residential college for sophomore

academic coursework. Though affiliated with the Tulane Honors Program, SoHo is open to any

course equivalent) each semester, which they will be permitted to do regardless of membership in the
Honors Program. (More specific information can be found at the Honors Program website:

engage in intellectual exploration however they like with no other parameters imposed.
