Barrets Honors College

Situated on the south end of campus, just next to Hassayampa Academic Village, is the Barrets Honors College.  Delicious food can be found within the gated community of this miniature campus within the Tempe campus, not to mention the intelligent minds of those who want to be pushed harder in order to succeed.  The Honors College has many different room set ups,  not to mention twelve classrooms among other amenities solely for honors students' use.  Already, the honors college is looking to be of a high evaluative stature.  

The sizes of the rooms vary from what style a student is living in.  There are studio style rooms, which are solely for one person only, single occupant with shared bathroom, which is similar to suite style, also offered, and lastly the quad occupant with two shared bathrooms.  The rooms are more spacious than those that you would find at any of the other dorms, however, in the case of the quad occupant, the luxurious space could easily be taken up by a roommate’s possessions being tossed messily about the area.  Despite that possibility, one could always hold a roommate meeting to solve such a problem as that.  Also, there are more than just the rooms that help Barrets live up to its high quality life.

It is this "nation’s first four-year, residential college within a top-tier public university and supports students at all levels of their academic career" (ASU Housing) seeing as how it is a four year program.  Nine acres of what shares many similarities to a private school, with the prestige of being one of the top ten best honors colleges in the United States.  So it is of no wonder that there are twelve classrooms inside the tall walls that is home to the students here.  With these classrooms, one could expect to find smaller teacher to student ratios, for a more fulfilling learning experience.  This attribute pushes the honors college over the top for how it is such a great community to live in on campus.
