Explore something you are passionate about while living around others who share your interest—Welcome to Living-Learning Communities! Choose your favorite, and be ready to love where you live.
You’ll build friendships fast when you share an interest with those living near you. Go to special events based on the theme, and find yourself immersed in things you find interesting—like dinosaur bones you pass in the hall as you leave your room.
In some Living-Learning residence halls, you can even get advice from a professor who volunteers to hold office hours in the building.
In the two Living-Learning Community Certificate Programs, you’ll enjoy all the advantages of living in an LLC and being in one of the linked options, but you’ll take it one step further. You’ll do more to explore the academic side of the theme as a group and earn a certificate at the end of your experience that could give you an edge in the job market.
In the linked options, you’ll get all of the advantages of the LLC communities, but you’ll also take a class or two together as a group, which helps you form stronger connections.
To participate in one of the Living-Learning Community Certificate Programs, submit the Living-Learning Community Certificate Program form that can be found under the Forms tab when completing your housing application through MyIUP.
