Intro to LLC

Living Learning Communities (LLCs) are residential programs that connect students together around a shared common focus. A Living Learning Community supports student success by broadening opportunities for learning and deepening a student's sense of belonging while living on campus.  In LLCs, students are placed into smaller communities in close proximity with each other – either on the same floor or in the same building community.

In addition to your Residence application, you may optionally apply to one of our specific Living-Learning Communities (LLC).
