Incoming Students’ Living Learning Community Application Process
The 2025-26 LLC Application within the online Housing Application has closed. If you need to submit or adjust your ranked LLC choices, please send the following information to our office via email at llc@syr.edu:
- Your First and Last Name
- Your SUID number
- Your 3 LLC choices in rank order.
We will accept email submissions on a rolling basis until mid-June. You will receive official notification of LLC placement status in mid-July through your syr.edu email.
Finding & Selecting a Roommate
You have two options for determining who you will live with at Syracuse University:
Option 1: Allow Syracuse University’s Housing Office to assign your roommate.
- Directions: Complete your Housing application and rank your LLC choices. We will do the rest and assign you a roommate who is also in the same LLC as you.
Option 2: Find and select your own roommate.
- Directions: The Housing Office utilizes a roommate compatibility feature within your Housing Self-Service portal to assist first-year students in their search for a compatible roommate. Through this, you will be able to find other incoming first-year students who share your LLC interests. Please make sure you and your selected roommate rank your three living learning community choices the same.
- Further information about the roommate selection process is available on the First-Year Students section on the Housing Office website.
Additional Information
If you have been invited to participate in the Renée Crown University Honors Program, you are encouraged to enroll in a living learning community. Honors students who do not select one of the other living learning communities will be housed in proximity to other honors students in clusters collectively known as the Honors Living Learning Community. Honors students living in the Honors Living Learning Community can have a roommate who is not an Honors student.
Because many of our living learning communities include one or more academic courses, you may want to consult an academic advisor in your home college to discuss how the academic component fits with your particular curriculum and the effect of transfer or advanced placement credits prior to making a selection. Your college will be evaluating your transfer and AP credits. These credits may affect your eligibility to enroll in certain learning communities.
