A Unique Opportunity For Campus Residents
A Living Learning Community (LLC) is a group of students who choose to live together to enjoy a built-in support system of mentoring, networking, and an overall enhanced sense of community. LLC students also get a jump start in creating connections within their academic college or cultural identity. Research shows that students in LLCs feel connected earlier, make friends more easily, perform better in classes, and graduate at higher rates than students who choose not to live in LLCs.
Living Learning Communities offer unique opportunities for campus residents. At Wichita
State
