Short answers below, but I agree with @TitanMom16‌: do a search of this forum for detailed responses from many former/current UHC Residents.



Chocol:

Do the freshmen students in the honors housing feel like a community?



Absolutely. Your RAs and fellow dorm-mates are (for the most part) going to be incredibly friendly and inclusive. In my experience, the UHC housing community was one of the best on campus (although I also really enjoyed short forays over into the Engineering housing community).



Chocol:

Do they have the opportunity to get to know each other since they do not have a big shared bathroom but have semi private bathrooms, doubles and suites?



Yes, UHC encourages an “open door policy” where you keep your main door open to allow other students to wander in and say hello. In my experience, I rarely locked my door ever because the community was so trustworthy. You’ll also spend a lot of time together during orientation which will help you make friends with your neighbors/floor mates/etc.



Chocol:

Do they feel somewhat isolated not being in the center of the University or near linchfield towers?



I lived in Forbes for UHC housing which was more isolated than Sutherland is (because you’re still surrounded by other dorms and other people). So no, there isn’t really a feeling of isolation.
