A Living Learning Community is
a residential setting in college in a
building where you're living
among people who all share a common
purpose
and a common interest and use your
experience and your time
in that space and building connections
with those people to explore that
purpose
a little deeper or in ways that you
don't necessarily get to do in a
traditional residential setting.
The Living-Learning communities are a
place for people to be
constantly exploring on a more meaningful
level
how they're going to be informed by their academic learning.
I can often you find yourself in a dorm
where there's people who have mutual
interests
but until you're all together in a space
where committing to
explore that more that kind of structure
opens up so many other doors and kind of
gives everyone the social
permission to dig into things a lot more. 
Part of what makes a living learning community
different than the general residence halls
is that each community
has a department on campus that is
helping
to shape what sorts of activities are
going on what kinda conversations are
happening in that hall
It's easier to engage with faculty members that are
involved, it's easier to engage with
staff at the college I think, I'm a
graduating senior
at this point in my life I've realized
some the best and most valuable
experience I've had
in college came from connections with
staff, came from connections
with faculty, those are things that you
get to build faster in a living-learning community
because it's intentionally
part of the structure that's available to you.
