Built-In Connection 

Our Living Learning Communities (LLCs) support students throughout their first year and beyond. LLCs focus on enhancing the learning and community building that occurs in all of our residence halls.  The LLC experience links learning inside and outside of the clasroom around shared interests. Students who are part of an LLC will have events and programs in their residence hall related to the topic of the LLC. 

LLCs are open to all students, regardless of major, to connect with others around a shared interest. LLCs also provide more opportunities to work closely with faculty.  Each LLC has a specific academic class students will take with their LLC community, and first-year students will also be in the same First-Year Focus class as the other members of their LLC.
