| Living Learning Communities |
| Living Learning Communities in Residence Halls are dynamic
communities designed to promote themes through programs
and activities. In addition to benefiting from all aspects of
residential life, students on these floors will enjoy theme-oriented
social, recreational and educational programs, interact with
faculty and staff specializing in the theme area, and connect
with related campus student organizations. The Resident Assistant
(RA) for each of these floors has experience and interest in
the theme and works directly with the students to plan and implement
creative, fun programs and activities. Programming possibilities
for students are endless. Approximately 1/5 of
the residence hall spaces are dedicated to Living Learning Communities. If you would like to live on an L.L.C., you
may list up to three choices when you complete your Personal
Preference form on-line. We will do our best to accommodate
one of your choices. |
