The Honors House occupies the second and third floors of Dorothy Webster Hall. It was built in 1870, and given to the college as a women's residence hall in 1930. The first floor serves as freshman honors housing, and the third floor features a large study lounge.

Living in "The House," as we often refer to it, is not just about good grades and pleasant surroundings. We also pride ourselves on living the college experience and growing together as students. It seems that incoming freshmen (and especially their parents) are shown a life of stimulated intellectualism, play time, study time, and spacious residence halls surrounded by streetlamps and massive shade trees. Residence of the Honors House live this way on a daily basis.

The House is also an active organization on campus. Despite our small size, we consistantly bring back awards from Homecoming competitions and provide tutoring services to all students free of charge. Many residents are also involved in interscholastic athletics, theatre arts, music, visual arts, print media, and the leadership of many other organizations on campus.

As a service to the campus, the Marietta College Honors House provides free tutoring services through the Academic Resource Center (ARC). If you are in need of tutoring services, you may call the ARC or drop by the third floor of Andrews Hall. Tutoring may take place in our study lounge or any other location around campus.

You don't need to be struggling in a course to benefit from tutoring. Especially in humanities courses, a tutor can help you look at a topic from a different angle than your instructor, and aid your understanding of material.
