Living-Learning Communities

In the College of Arts and Sciences, we provide three types of living-learning communities geared towards first-year students. Our living-learning communities are residence hall-based programs that build connections for students with common interests or similar academic paths. Research shows that students who join LLCs finish their first year with higher GPAs and are overall more involved in campus leadership.
