JOIN A LIVING-LEARNING COMMUNITY

Living-learning communities (LLCs) offer dedicated and distinctive themed living options to University Housing residents. All LLCs are carefully planned and supported by University Housing staff and members of the community. They offer a sense of community through programs, conversations and faculty interaction centered on the member’s interest. Since all the members share interest in their community’s theme, members can expect to build genuine relationships and lifelong friendships.

LIVING LEARNING COMMUNITY APPLICATION

When you apply for a space in University Housing, you can also apply for one of our living-learning communities in MyHousing. The application for LLCs is now open. Applicants are accepted on a rolling basis; however, spots are first-come, first-serve. Continue to check the LLC website for updates.
