Theme Housing
We offer a twist on the traditional on-campus living experience. Consider a Living
Learning Community -- LLC for short. These communities are developed around a theme.
Students who share a common interest or academic focus live on the same floor of a
residence hall. In some cases, entire halls are devoted to a theme, for example, Sam
May Hall is dedicated to our Fitness & Wellness LLC.
While some First Year Experience cohorts are established to assure a smooth, successful
transition into college life and academic demands, others are developed around an
academic course. LLC residents receive extra support and mentoring by faculty and
staff in their focus area. Special programs and events are offered to enhance their
experiences outside of the classroom, while helping them develop and refine their
leadership skills. Below, learn more about requirements for LLC living and how to
apply.
