About This Facility

Tucked just off campus at 8 Park Street, the Honors House is a historic home reserved for five students actively participating in the Alfred University Honors Program. Since 1994, this space has served as both a residence and a gathering place for the Honors community.

House Features:

  • 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms
  • Full kitchen – perfect for cooking-based seminars or spontaneous baking nights
  • Spacious living room – complete with comfy couches and rocking chairs for movie nights or late-night chats
The Honors House is a living-learning environment that blends academic life with friendship, creativity, and intellectual curiosity.

Community & Events

Each year, the Honors House plays host to some of the program’s most beloved traditions, including:

  • Death by Chocolate
    An annual fall tradition where over 150 students, faculty, and staff gather to welcome new Honors students with an unforgettable spread of chocolate desserts.
  • Film Seminars & Cooking Nights
    Many Honors seminars take place right here — especially those that revolve around food, discussion, or film screenings. The relaxed home atmosphere encourages open dialogue, exploration, and connection.

A Place to Live. A Place to Lead.

Alfred University students sit in a large circle on the grass outside the Honors House, enjoying a sunny day while sharing food and conversation in a relaxed outdoor setting surrounded by trees.
The Honors House is more than a place to live. It's a place to connect, create, and thrive alongside fellow motivated students. From seminar discussions to spontaneous movie nights, the memories made here last well beyond graduation.
