Living Learning Communities and Specialty Housing
Living Learning Communities
Living Learning Communities (LLCs) are communities within our residence halls based around a shared academic program or interest. Each community is assigned to a specific area in a residence hall and participates in co-curricular programming.
Interested students may apply to live in an LLC using the Housing Application. LLC applications are reviewed by their respective advisor. After applying, you will receive a confirmation email of your application. Students may be accepted or placed on a waitlist for their LLC depending on space availability and program interest. After LLC decisions are communicated, students will have about one week to request a release from the LLC. After this deadline, we cannot change your housing application or LLC interest.

Please note that with the exception of the Honors Community, only first-year students may apply to live in an LLC.
Speciality Housing
Specialty Housing options include a neurodiverse-inclusive housing community and religious accommodation options. Students living in these communities will find a community support system; close connections with faculty, professional staff, and their peers; and housing options that meet their needs. Students from all years are welcome to apply for our Specialty Housing options. Interested students should complete the Housing Application.
Roommate Selection
Students accepted to live in an LLC or Specialty Housing community are able to select their own roommate from the other students in their chosen community during the housing self-selection process. If you do not select a roommate, another student from your LLC or Specialty Housing community will be placed in your room. Students participating in either of these programs are able to select Gender-Inclusive Housing options within their community. Please note that students living in an LLC or specialty housing option must select a room from their respective program's identified room block.
