About Living Learning Communities

Living Learning Communities (LLCs) provide unique environments where select groups of students share common residential and learning experiences. Based on disciplinary and interdisciplinary themes, LLCs create intentional links between academic, social, and residential experiences.

Parternships

There are many partnerships across campus and within the community to support the Living Learning Communities. Partnerships are also created among students as they have similar majors and/or academic interests, live and learn together. For 2012, there are approximately 300 first-year students participating Living Learning Communities. Each community is facilitated by Residential Life/Learning Communities staff (Resident Directors & Resident Assistants), faculty partners (also Faculty in Residence), The Office of Student Retention, Health Promotions and Prevention Service and The Student Learning Center. The faculty partners interact informally on a regular basis and also create unique and useful programs within the residence halls. They provide information sessions, help students develop and to get to know students on multiple levels.

Admission Process

It is an honor and privilege to be a member of a Living Learning Community. Spaces are limited. Priority is given to students who demonstrate a commitment to academic success, intellectual curiosity, civic engagement, and lifelong learning.
Applicants must complete their housing application, available online in early March at http://www.brockport.edu/reslife/applying.html .

Select an LLC to join - please limit your preferences to two LLCs.
If you have a specific roommate you’d like to request, please be sure to enter their Banner ID number and mutually request each other. Please be sure to talk to that person regarding what LLCs you’re interested in so that you’re placed in the same LLC with the roommate you requested.
If you are a first-year student, remember to complete the additional questions on your housing application regarding the LLCs or you might not be placed correctly.
