A proposal analyzing the effects of honors residence hall life upon non-honors students : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

Honors Housing at Ball State University is meant for Honors students to be able to live together to increase their ability to form study groups and succeed academically during their freshman year. However, there are a number of non-Honors students that reside in these buildings. My Honors Thesis is a qualitative study of the effects that an Honors residence hall has on non-Honors students. I provide quotations from non-Honors students in the Honors hall and non-Honors hall as evidence for the success rate of these students.
