Somebody stolen my food that i order from gruphub. That was my only food of the day, And now I won't eat anything.
Honors village is very nice dorms are in good condition since Gym is right across from the dorm and parking is really close buy excellent school very secure
This Honors Village on the edge of the University of Arizona has the newest & BEST dorms and/or apartments, monitored entry 24/7. Six floors with 4 modern elevators for each wing are nicely situated around a beautiful green courtyard with hardscape areas for sitting, tanning/lounging and multiple recreation games, like outdoor chess or ping pong. Each floor has a large laundry room, study rooms, games rooms, & more. Rooms are large, peaceful & bathrooms are spacious, clean & private. We upgraded the shower standard shower head with rainfall head/handheld but must replace standard original head at move-out. Dorm Twin (XL) beds are raised above storage drawers, but no bunks. The 1st floor has entry desk, lobby, mailroom, multiple classrooms & the 85North restaurant, which serves a wide variety of meals each day. The North Rec Center across the entry plaza is convenient for workouts. Adjoining shake/smoothie joint is convenient afterwards and rates high with students. Safe, modern & clean with nearby bicycle parking, or permited ($750+/-annually) vehicle parking structure for residents. Super easy access to main roads for visitors or move-in/outs and in addition to the North Rec Center adjacency, it is located close to Eller School of Business, CAPLA, Law, or The Banner Hospital for medical students.
The only negative is that it is located on the outer NW edge of Campus, across Speedway. An underground pedestian tunnel a few blocks away, next to Eller Business School, makes crossing the heavily trafficked road convenient.
Prior approval & some Honors courses required & cost higher than other dorms, but all worth it. Suggest following Instagram - @uazfrankehonors
Dropped my son off at his dorm and honors village is amazing. The atmosphere is so inviting.
This is a great UofA village, and the newest one.
More like a hotel than a dorm, very comfortable rooms and new building.
Food is always accessible and a great rec center is in front if it for bussy people like me.
The 24hour front desk is also great. It's clean and realy quiet, I used to live in another dorm, but was not even close to this one by quality. I used stay in Off-campus housing too, but I found honors village a better place, good price and best quality till now.
Fantastic
Had a very good meal with UA rep.
One of UofAs newest buildings, built in 2019, is used for housing and teaching those enrolled in the honors college. Beautifully modern architecture creates a unique atmosphere for living and learning. Faculty offices onsite gives a sense of community. Loved the various spaces to congregate with comfortable seating to relax.
Great place for Honors students to start at U of A!

Very well curated.
I worked here on some upgrades and the staff is wonderful, friendly, helpful, and funny. The rooms look good and comfortable the beds are nice. The cafeteria looks like its food is amazing and many different options for vegans, vegetarian, and carnivores. Great place for students to live and go to school at.
My rating is 4.5 but I'll round up!Overall a very nice place to be, with very friendly staff! Value is also pretty decent (if you don't mind walking), it costs less or v close to the Level 3 dorms and you get a neat, modern building.Pros:- Dining hall on main level is super convenient (good food, too).- Beautiful and massive courtyard with lots of seating and game areas.- Numerous community lounges where you can hang out, watch TV, plug in a console, do work, etc!- Study spaces are plentiful and allow you to escape the room if your roommate(s) are too loud- Building cleanliness is excellent.- Friendly + helpful staff.- Always felt safe.- Having your own or a suite-style bathroom eliminates worries about community bathrooms- Very close to NorthRECDrawbacks:- Some things break on occasion (doors, some laundry machines, a few leaks occasionally), but these do get fixed quickly.- Meal Plan requirement (though that may apply to all official housing later)- It may be a long walk to your room.- This building's location may not be convenient to get to the main campus, but it's no worse/better than some of the high-rises.- American Campus Communities (owner of the building) charges quite a bit for laundry compared to other places on campus which were free.- The e-keys for your room are pretty annoying, their tips can break or they may lose functionality randomly.- Wish there was a built in smaller fitness room that we could use past 9 or 10 PM.A note is that all of the double rooms are reserved for freshmen in this building, so if you are not a new student, make sure you plan accordingly.Overall though, a very nice place to live, and if you are in Honors, I suggest you stop by and at least take a look :)
Good university
You literally have everything you want and need within a few steps. Gym, cafeteria and parking structure.
