Living Learning Communities (LLCs)
As a part of the First-Year Experience learning community curriculum requirement, the University of St. Thomas offers a number of Living Learning Community (LLC) options to incoming first year students. LLCs are specialized living environments that help connect students in and out of the classroom. Each LLC is unique, but all are centered on an academic area of interest or academic program.
By choosing to live in an LLC, Residence Life will assign a first year student to the hall and floor community where the LLC is located. Live-in Residence Life staff and the faculty who teach the LLC courses will provide one-on-one interactions and various co-curricular opportunities to enhance the curricular learning that occurs within the classroom.
Students enrolled in an LLC should expect to:
- Connect with their academic program within their first year
- Meet other students with a similar interest
- Experience a smoother academic and social transition to college
- Develop an enhanced interaction with faculty and staff
PLEASE NOTE: Options noted below are for the current academic year; updated LLC options for Fall 2021 incoming Tommies will be updated on February 1, 2021. Contact us for more information.
