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.
