This is the official Facebook page of Virginia Tech's Honors Residential Commons, a multi-generational, multi-disciplinary, living-learning community.
The Honors Residential Commons (HRC) is the first residential college at Virginia Tech, founded in 2011. We are a multi-generational, multi-disciplinary living-learning community with our own traditions and sense of belonging. We are comprised of more than 300 Junior Fellows (undergraduate students), several Graduate Fellows (graduate students), and more than 30 Senior Fellows (faculty and esteemed members of the New River Valley). While the HRC is student-governed, it also receives consistent leadership from a Faculty Principal (live-in tenure-track faculty member) and Student Life Coordinator (live-in Housing and Residence Life staff member). We foster a supportive, yet challenging community that creates the conditions for students to pursue meaningful encounters with the wider world.

First and foremost, residential colleges at Ambler Johnston are places where students belong, learn, and give. These multi–disciplinary, freshman through graduate level living–learning communities, thriving with meaningful and sustained relationships among faculty, staff, students, and the worlds they pursue together, promote rich intellectual, cultural, and social context where students "know and are known." The residential colleges seek self–motivated, lifelong learners, with diverse interests, who will build a community of scholars in the spirit of Virginia Tech's motto, Ut Prosim (That I May Serve).
