We offer more than 30 Living Learning Communities (LLCs). An LLC is a group of students who share a common major or academic affiliation, live together in a residence hall, have intentional faculty support and engage in academic and social experiences on and off campus.

LLCs can range in size, with some as small as 10 students and others with over 200 students! Additionally, LLCs are arranged in the residence halls in a variety of ways. Based on their size, some LLCs fill an entire floor, or even multiple floors, while others may exist as a cluster of rooms on part of a floor. With all these options, it’s important to know your LLC floor could be all LLC students or a mixture of LLC and non-LLC students.

For more information about each individual LLC, please read the descriptions below.  For more general information about the LLC program, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page.
