Living Learning Communities

Living Learning Communities (LLCs) are programs in the residence halls that bring students together who share the same academic background, major, or interest. LLCs are for first-year students and offers them the opportunity to live together on the same floor. LLCs receive support from specific departments based upon majors, general areas of study, and general interests.

Why an LLC?

Students in LLCs have access to a staff or faculty mentor that works to connect students to their academic background, major, or interest. Mentors connect with students in their residence hall, around campus, and even during off campus events. In addition, LLC students enjoy:

  • Easier college transition
  • Better class attendance
  • Broader campus involvement
  • Higher average GPA
  • Elevated graduation rates

What kinds of LLCs does UNT offer?
