What Are Living Learning Communities?
WVU’s Living-Learning Communities (LLC) are on-campus student communities formed around a theme or specific field of study. They provide a supportive environment where you can live with others who share your academic and/or social interests and allow you to connect with faculty, staff and professionals in areas aligned with the LLC's emphasis.
Your college experience is about nonstop learning and preparing you for a great future. Being part of a Living-Learning Community will:
- make it easier to adjust to college
- help you meet people who share your interests
- provide a support network of friends
- encourage you to study with your neighbors
- provide the connection to work with faculty mentors
- keep you on track to earn your degree on time
- connect you with internships and future career opportunities
What Will You Experience?
A sense of community through programs, conversations and faculty interaction centered on the member’s interest. Since all the members share interest in their community’s theme, members can expect to build genuine relationships and lifelong friends.
