Learning Community FAQ  

Will I be isolated in a Learning Community? 

Not at all. Although Learning Community residents are assigned to live near one another, there are only about 20-30 members on a floor with 50-80 residents. Choosing a Learning Community gives you the best of both worlds—the opportunity to live near students in your interest area, and the chance to interact with a diverse group of students in your hall.

Can I live with a friend even if they don’t have the same major or interest in the Learning Community? 

Yes you can if space is available. We will allow you to bring a roommate with you, even if that person isn’t in the major or interested in the Learning Community. Your roommate is more than welcome to join his/her floormates in the activities planned for the Learning Community members.

Will there be a lot of activities in the Learning Community? 

You have the opportunity to get involved with your Learning Community. In most cases, six or seven activities are scheduled each semester, and residents are asked to participate in at least half of those activities. Weekly or bi-weekly meetings are held to inform residents of upcoming activities and to plan future events.
