Residence Halls at Jupiter
The Honors College is a residential college. Students live in individual bedrooms in furnished suite-style residence halls and each bedroom has high-speed internet and cable television. Living on campus strengthens the Wilkes Honors College community and has been shown to support greater academic success.

Living on campus is required of incoming freshmen for their first two years at the Honors College.聽Transfer students with a fully completed Associate of Arts degree or who have completed two years of college previously, which they pursued after high school, are not required to live on campus.
