How do I apply for a LLC?
Students will have the ability to indicate interest in participating in a LLC when completing their housing application.
Am I guaranteed a spot in a LLC?
We do our best to place as many students as possible in their first-choice Living-Learning Community. However, students may also be accepted into their second choice community. Preferencing all the communities you are interested in will increase the opportunity for you to participate in the Living-Learning Community program.
Does it cost more to be in a LLC?
No. Living-Learning Community students pay the same rates as other students in their residence hall (depending on room type). View Room and Board Rates
Which halls have LLCs?
Living-Learning Communities are housed in many of our first-year residence halls. Most LLCs are assigned to halls based on the number of interested students. All communities offer space for community gatherings, programs, and community engagement. Students will find out their assigned hall in June/July.
Can I pick my roommate in a LLC?
Yes. If you would like to room with someone who is accepted to the same Living-Learning Community as you, make sure that both of you apply for the Living-Learning Communities, indicate the same community preferences, and also put each other as a roommate preference on your housing application. We will do our best to accommodate your request.
Can I participate in the Interdisciplinary Honors Program or Quinlan School of Business Honors Program and also be in a Learning Community?
No. The Learning Communities and Honors Programs each feature a specific residential component, so it is not possible to participate in both. However, you are encouraged to apply for both. If you are not accepted into an Honors program, you still may be accepted into a Learning Community.
