  • About Us

Housing & Residence Life offers a number of living learning and themed communities. Enhancing your on-campus housing experience, these communities provide additional programming and support based on your academics and personal interests.

Themed communities (TCs) are based around shared interests, and living-learning communities (LLCs) are based on shared academic requirements. These communities positively influence student learning, retention, and integration into campus life.

LLCs/TCs often include the following elements: living together on campus, a common academic or co-curricular experience, and structured activities in their residence hall that highlight engagement with faculty and interactions with peers.

Honors Living Learning Community

Location: Maverick Village (Dodge Campus)

Students interested in this opportunity will live with other students in the University Honors Program and enroll in Honors courses together throughout the year. This provides students the opportunity to live, learn, and study with their peers in classes. Residents reflect positively on the friends they make living and learning together.

Housing and Residence Life will provide students with opportunities to learn together, with all the convenience and opportunity residence hall life offers. The professors of the Honors classes are committed to working with each student and the entire Honors group, with possibilities for additional learning opportunities through exciting extra-curricular activities as well as additional housing programming for the community.

Questions? Contact Dr. Lucy Morrison, Director of the University Honors Program

Thompson Living Learning Community

Location: Maverick Village & University Village (Dodge Campus)

Students who are recipients of the Susan T. Buffett Foundation Scholarship/members of the Thompson Learning Community (TLC) may be interested in living with other members of TLC. Our Thompson Living Learning Community provides a shared living environment for recipients of this scholarship, additional support, and programming for those TLC student residents.

*First year scholarship recipients will be required to live in University Village on Dodge Campus unless exception approved by TLC Director.

Service Themed Community

Location: Maverick Village & University Village (Dodge Campus)

The Service Themed Community provides opportunities for residents to engage in civic and service-oriented programs and volunteering opportunities, both on and off campus. This themed community is not building-specific; rather, it is open to all students who are interested in fostering a commitment to active community engagement and addressing pressing community challenges both locally and globally.

Wellness Themed Community

Location: Maverick Village & University Village (Dodge Campus)

Wellness means overall well-being. In partnership with the Wellness Center, the Wellness Themed Community provides opportunities and experiences for residents to explore the eight dimensions of wellness. This themed community is not building-specific. It is important for today's college students to learn how to incorporate each dimension of wellness into their lives - a skill that they will carry with them beyond their time in college.

Sustainability Themed Community

Location: Maverick Village & University Village (Dodge Campus)

Partnering with Office of Sustainability, the Sustainability Themed Community provides opportunities and experiences to students to become better stewards of the environment and engage in actions that are environmentally friendly and socially responsible. This themed community is not building-specific and is open to all students interested.

Indigenous Student Themed Community

Location: University Village (Dodge Campus)

The Indigenous Student Community within housing is intended for Indigenous students who want to connect with other Indigenous students, engage with and share their own Indigenous heritage and knowledge, and participate in cultural and educational opportunities within the larger campus community at UNO. This themed community is not building-specific and is open to all students interested.

Walter Scott, Jr. Scholarship Program (Scott Scholars)

Location: Scott Hall (Scott Campus)

Recipients of the Walter Scott, Jr. Scholarship reside in Scott Residence Hall. All recipients of the scholarship live in Scott Hall. The scholarship provides four years of funding for undergraduate programs based within the Peter Kiewit Institute and taught by the College of Engineering or College of Information Science & Technology. Recipients for the Walter Scott, Jr. Scholarship are selected as incoming freshmen. The scholarship covers university fees, required course books and materials, housing and food for the academic year (fall–spring), and personal computer for use during the duration of the scholarship.

Entrepreneurial Living Learning Community

Location: Scott Village (Scott Campus)

Students in the Entrepreneurial Living Learning Community (ELLC) reside together in Scott Village, participate in weekly meetings of the Collegiate Entrepreneurs' Organization, and attend events on and off campus.

Incoming freshman applicants will be considered for a $1,500 Entrepreneurship Community Scholarship, with the possibility of renewal at $1,000 during their returning sophomore year. Scholars may come from any major and should demonstrate a record of innovative or entrepreneurial accomplishments. In addition to participating in the ELLC, Entrepreneurship Community Scholars will complete an entrepreneurship cohort course in the fall of their freshman year.

Interested students can apply now.

Peter Kiewit Foundation Engineering Academy Scholar Learning Community

Location: Scott Crossing (Scott Campus)

Scholars in the Peter Kiewit Foundation Engineering Academy all reside together in Scott Crossing for the first two years of school, with the option of continuing to live in Scott Housing throughout their time in the program. The PKF Engineering Academy seeks to recruit and retain students committed to supporting and advancing women in engineering in the state of Nebraska, providing students who have financial need with the resources and support to pursue careers in engineering and construction.

Through a cohort-based program of 40 incoming freshman each year, these students will be empowered to make a positive impact in their field through exclusive seminar courses, dedicated success coaching, and social events. The scholarship covers tuition, university fees, required course books and materials, housing and food, a personal computer, a professional wardrobe stipend, and individual professional development funds.

Omaha Greek Life Themed Community

Location: (Scott Campus)

Participation in an Omaha Greeks organization comes with many personal development opportunities including leadership roles, increased academic success, and the ability to extend your college experience beyond Omaha. Through a multitude of events, meetings, and programs our organizations provide ample opportunities to develop life-long connections with other members. Omaha Greeks chapters pride themselves on being dedicated to service on our campus, in our community, and through national philanthropies.

This community will give you an opportunity to live with or near those who are all interested in leadership opportunities, lifelong friendships, a commitment to philanthropy and service, and academic achievement.
