Living Learning Communities
Combining the best qualities of academic and social living
The Living Learning Communities (LLC) are designed to provide an environment for residents to connect their academics to their life outside the classroom. Comprised of eight buildings, housing over 550 students, each themed community provides its residents with an atmosphere dedicated to academic success, student support and activities geared toward social enrichment. Though generally reserved for upper-level students, housing is available to first-year students in the Upham and College of Natural Resources buildings.
