A Focused Living Experience
Our Living Learning Communities (LLCs) give students the opportunity to live alongside peers who share similar interests in an environment that intentionally facilitates increased interaction with faculty and staff across various areas of the University. LLCs offer community members meaningful experiences specifically designed around the community theme. The Living Learning Application is part of the online housing application.
