Learn, Connect, Grow
Learning Communities are groups of students who live together in our residence halls and connect through similar goals, interests, or academic majors. Each community is different, but all offer the opportunity to develop close-knit friendships with peers and valuable mentorships with staff and faculty.
Why live in a learning community?
- Ability to develop close-knit relationships and friend groups
- Your neighbors have a similar interest or major as you do
- Amazing networking opportunities with faculty and staff
- Fun events designed specifically for your learning community
- Between 35-70 people per community
