One of the characteristics that an Honors College is supposed to have is suitable quarters constituting of an Honors center with an Honors library, lounge, reading rooms, personal computers and other appropriate décor. The Honors College at Southern Arkansas University provides its students with just that.
Although there is not an Honors Library, the honors dorm, where most of the honors students live on campus, is located only a short walking distance from the campus library. A lounge is provided for the students in the dorm. Located in a central location on the first floor, it is equipped with a coke machine, a microwave, a television and several tables to study on, as well as several comfy chairs to relax on. There are two other rooms available for study purposes. One of those has the feel of a meeting room, with a large table in the center surrounded by desk chairs. The other is more of a classroom, where some honors classes are held. It consists of eight tables arranged in a rectangle around the room, with chairs both inside and outside of the rectangle. A projector is mounted to the ceiling pointing to a roll-up viewing screen. Elsewhere, there is also a computer lab available to the honors students. It is well suited to assist students in conducting research for their classes, and a printer is provided for those who need to have hard copies. The Honors College at SAU is not limited just to the dorm. There is an office in one of the buildings on campus where students can go to hang out, have a coke, and talk to their professors who are involved in the Honors College.
Although most of the Honors College at Southern Arkansas University is in the Honors Hall dorm, it is well equipped with the necessary requirement of having facilities such as an Honors library, lounge, reading rooms, and personal computers.
