'''Hillcrest Honors Community''' is an [[undergraduate]] [[residence hall]] at [[Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University]]. At a student capacity of 108, it is the smallest residence hall at Virginia Tech. Unlike the other residence halls on the campus, it is required that all of its occupants maintain a [[grade point average]] of 3.50 and it is customary that they live in the building for the first four years of their undergraduate education. Students staying for a fifth year may live off-campus but still participate in community functions such as occasional dinners, the senior toast, and Colloquium Magnum.
In addition to being a residence hall on the second and third floors, Hillcrest houses Virginia Tech's University Honors offices on the first floor and the Residence Hall Federation office in the basement. Community residents thus have the opportunity to maintain close personal relationships with the Honors staff.
Hillcrest Hall is one of very few buildings and the only residence hall at Virginia Tech not named for a person. The name is derived from its ___location at the crest of a hill at the east end of Virginia Tech's central Drillfield, between West Campus Drive and the Grove. It is one of the few red brick buildings on a campus known for its "[[Hokie Stone]]" architecture.
