Living Learning Communities
Students live with other students from the same academic program, making it easy to form study groups or project teams.
Living Learning Communities (LLCs) are assigned a specific area in a residence hall and organize their own social and academic activities, from informal gatherings to lecture series. Please note that with the exception of the Honors Community and Neurodiverse-Friendly Housing, only first-year students can apply to live in an LLC.
