Current Student Application

Living Learning Community Application Process 

The upperclass student Living Learning Community (LLC) application is open to current students who will be sophomores, juniors or seniors in Fall 2025. No prior LLC experience is necessary. Selection is also agreeing to participate fully (e.g. LLC classes, events). If you are interested in participating in a upperclass LLC you should indicate your preference through the online Housing application. You may only select one upperclass LLC on the application. 

Your upperclass LLC application must be completed by Wednesday March 12th, 2025 which is the same day the Housing application closes. You will then participate in the room selection process for the upperclass LLC on Tuesday March 18th, 2025.

Finding & Selecting a Roommate 

 The Housing Office utilizes a roommate compatibility feature within your Housing Self-Service to assist in searching for a compatible roommate. Through this, you will be able to find other students who share your LLC interests. Please make sure you and your selected roommate have selected the LLC preference in your housing application.

Within your Housing portal, you will be able to complete your Roommate Questionnaire that provides you with an opportunity to connect with fellow students and to identify a roommate On this tab in the Housing portal, students will be able to answer questions about their habits and hobbies, and select attributes to discover what they have in common with other Syracuse students.  

Once the Housing contract opens the roommate matching feature will be available, where you will be able to select and confirm your chosen roommate. Keep in mind that as Spring goes on and more students complete the Housing application, your pool of possible connections and roommates will grow. Make a point to periodically return to the Roommate Selection tab to check to see what new connections are available.
