Living Learning Communities
Because learning does not take place exclusively in the classroom, UT Dallas offers incoming freshmen the opportunity to live in one of our Living Learning Communities (LLC).
LLCs are small groups of select freshmen who share common academic goals or interests. Students involved in these communities live in the residence hall, attend one class a semester together and participate as a group in various activities, such as service learning projects and social events.
All Living Learning Community students are required to live in the new University Village Residence Hall.
Why should I join a Living Learning Community?
Living Learning Communities offer a broad range of benefits, including:
- Have an easier transition into college
- Maintain higher GPAs
- Make friends quickly with people who share common interests and goals
- Develop a support network with other students, advisors and professors
- Have increased faculty and staff contact outside the classroom
- Develop and refine leadership skills
- Connect with the community through service learning projects
- Learn to think critically
