ON-CAMPUS LIVINGLearning happens in all areas of campus, including the residence halls. Living Learning Communities (LLCs) encourage the personal development and academic success of our residents. These LLCs offer students the chance to live with other students who share the same major or majors within the same college, or with whom they have something in common. LLCs give students the opportunity to meet and interact with other students, as well as faculty and staff.

In addition to LLCs, on-campus living also allows access to more than 2,000 programs each year and to leadership opportunities with registered student organizations.
