Take a Virtual Tour
Living Learning Communities are specialized residential programs that foster a sense of belonging and support.
These communities provide a unique environment where first-year students can seamlessly integrate their academic interests and social experiences. Students will live with their
First-Year Preceptoria
l classmates and engage with their faculty instructor both in and outside the classroom.
By living with peers who share similar interests and experiences, students have the opportunity to engage in collaborative learning, attend specialized workshops and events, and build lasting relationships with their classmates and faculty mentors.
Why Choose a Living Learning Community

Isaac Hughes ’21
“Living with my classmates has helped me connect with them more closely—I know their majors, interests, and backgrounds,”
Oreoluwa Precious Ilori ’28
“Having friends around, not just in passing but throughout campus, has made adjusting easier.”
Mar Armstrong ’28
