Living Learning Centers
Living Learning Centers integrate the
student’s residence hall experience with
academic concerns and enrich both
aspects of the college education. Each LLC also leads to an academic
minor, in which students take courses
with others living in the same residence
hall. Residence hall events are also
geared to the theme of the LLC. These
are typically upper-class programs. Learn more about Living Learning Centers.
