Living Learning Communities

Living Learning Communities offer first-year students a dynamic residential experience that blends academics and campus life.

Designed around specific majors or shared interests, LLCs provide a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded peers, participate in exclusive events, and engage in hands-on learning right where you live. These vibrant communities create a supportive environment that enhances personal and academic growth, making your first year on campus even more enriching and memorable.

All LLC residents are assigned to a double suite-style unit in Coronna Hall, where all LLCs are housed. Because LLCs are designed to foster connections and community, there are no private rooms available. Students can choose their roommate provided both are members of the same LLC.

For more detailed information about Living Learning Communities, please visit the Office of First-Year Experience Website. Students will apply for an LLC through the online housing application.
