Living-Learning

Students relaxing

Living-learning programs give students with similar interests or fields of study the opportunity to live together on a residence hall floor, facilitating studying, networking and close friendships.

Campus Living Services will do our best to accommodate students who request roommates who are not a part of the living-learning communities, but due to limited space and select program rules, some roommate requests cannot be fulfilled.

Degree-Granting Residential Programs
To be considered for membership in a degree-granting residential program, a major preference on the application for admission is required, and space fills on a first-come, first-served basis. Check the individual program for details. Students do not need to make a designation on the application for admission to be considered for the Honors College.
