Residential college experience
The residential community is a key component of the Barrett experience. Honors students live in the Barrett residential college for their first two years and many choose to live on campus all four years.
The Barrett West Suite, located in the heart of campus in the UCB building, is available to all honors students for studying and socializing. The space houses West Valley campus faculty and staff for easy connections, includes quiet and group study areas, provides access to free printing of academic materials, and is used for a variety of events and activities.
Benefits of living with Barrett include:
- Connections with other honors students in a variety of majors and from a wide range of backgrounds
- Easy access to programs and events that enhance your experience
- Ability to fully immerse yourself in the Barrett community
- Extra support from residential peer leaders
Student leaders
Barrett West student leaders can help you make connections, get involved, find your passions, navigate the university experience, and have fun during your Barrett journey. They plan and host a variety of events and activities that can enrich your honors experience and they are eager to share their own experiences with you.
Mentors
Barrett West Mentors help new first-year students feel at home on campus by planning engagement activities that will help them get to know the Barrett community and build connections with other honors students. They reach out to first-year students throughout the fall semester to provide information and answer questions that will help ease their transition to university life.
Residential student leaders
Community Assistants (CAs) work directly with students living in the residence halls to ensure a safe and responsible environment. They help with administrative questions and plan activities for residents. Barrett Peer Academic Leaders (PALs) plan events and activities designed to help honors students make social connections, succeed academically, and have fun during their educational journey.
