Living Learning Communities – Housing and Residence Life

What is a Living Learning Community?

Living Learning Communities (LLC’s) are a great opportunity for first-year students to connect to a smaller community and engage in unique experiences.

Students will be able to….

Connect, collaborate and engage with faculty and staff across the university
Participate in specialized programming and engagements tailored to their specific student experience needs
Engage with a smaller community of like-minded individuals
Participate in classroom and out-of-classroom learning experiences that are exclusive to the LLC program
