Honors Residential Learning Experience

The UTA Honors College offers a unique residential experience for on-campus students. Starting in Fall 2026, all first-year Honors students who live on-campus will be housed together in our new community at UTA's newest and largest residence hall - Maverick Hall. This community will feature themed honors communities within it to help students deeply engage their peers, both academically and socially, and gives them the ability to live with like-minded students excited to get the best out of their UTA experience while also being within steps of the Maverick Activity Center and The Commons.

Why choose the Honors Community? 

  • Built-in community and connections: Build lasting friendships as you connect with fellow Honors students at social events, collaborate in study groups, and enjoy exclusive activities designed just for the RLC community.
  • Dedicated Peer Support: A Residential Peer Mentor – an experienced Honors student – lives in your hall to offer guidance on classes, professors, campus activities, and student groups.
  • Paired Honors Classes: Students living with Honors will also be enrolled in the Honors-designated sections of UNIV-HN 1131: Student Success and have the opportunity to take other designated Honors classes with their peers. These courses foster collaboration and deepen your connection to campus resources and the Honors community.
  • Exclusive Honors Events: The Honors College hosts a variety of events throughout the school year to enhance community within the college.
  • Location: The Honors Community will be located in Maverick Hall, the newest and largest residence hall at UT Arlington. It’s just a short walk away from the Maverick Activity Center, as well as The Commons. Maverick Hall’s central location provides easy access to academic buildings, campus resources, dining, and extracurricular activities, ensuring that students are always close to the pulse of university life. With its modern amenities, spacious rooms, and a focus on community, Maverick Hall is more than just a place to live - it’s a hub for connection, growth, and academic success.
