<p>inVenTs is the engineering learning community you can apply for. Currently, it is housed in Lee Hall which is a traditional hall-style (non-suite) dorm. It is co-ed and has shared bathrooms of about 1 to 58. <a href=“http://www.housing.vt.edu/halls/hall_list/Lee.html”>http://www.housing.vt.edu/halls/hall_list/Lee.html</a>. The Honors housing is in either Hillcrest or East Ambler Johnson. See the housing link for information <a href=“http://www.housing.vt.edu/llc/communities/waj/the_hall.html”>http://www.housing.vt.edu/llc/communities/waj/the_hall.html</a>. I have heard the Honors dorm is very nice. If admitted to either inVenTs or Honors, you can “choose” these dorms. As for the other dorms, they ask your preference on items like traditional or suite, co-ed, etc. but they are randomly assigned so you cannot really “pick” one. Keep in mind both the inVenTs housing and Honors College cost more to live in. So, if you are on a tight budget, keep this in mind. This is information from a couple of years ago when my son was a freshman, so others can weigh in if something has changed.</p>
