Why Participate?
Your Resident Advisor and Hall Director will plan events throughout the year related to your LLC or Theme community topic. The wide range of social and educational events offered enhances the academic experience and provide opportunities for community development. Research shows students who get involved in LLCs/Theme Housing are more likely to:
- Stay in college

How to Apply
Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors will self-select during the Housing Selection Process. By selecting, you agree to participate in the additional programs made available for you.
