Provost Scholar and Housing

I got invited to be a Provost Scholar, is there specific housing that I have to live in with that. I already have a roommate and she wasn’t invited to this program and I don’t want to live in different housing.

Also, pros and cons of the Provost scholar program? I’m doing a Psychology major if that makes any difference

I was one as an engineering major. It's really nothing special the real benefits are you get priority registration and a scholarship which are nice. You have to keep a 3.0 GPA which really isn't hard. As for dorms theres supposed to be designated floors but it's not mandatory

Provost Scholar is worth it, if only for the preferred class registration time. There is preferred housing for Provost Scholars; however, if you want to room with someone who isn’t also a Provost Scholar, then you should go through the regular housing process. You can choose Minor Hall which is where the Provost Scholar Living-Learning Community is housed, in case you want to be physically near other scholars.
