Importance of Living Learning Communities

Living learning communities offer students a unique experience by grouping them together in a residence hall, providing a shared academic experience, and engaging them in co-curricular activities. These communities encourage students to integrate learning in their living environment, promoting academic engagement and social interactions with peers and faculty. By fostering an academically engaged and socially supportive climate, students learn and grow in these communities, preparing them for life beyond college.
