Residential Learning

Residential Community Programs

Residential Community Programs, known as RCPs, are residential communities designed to provide you a cohort experience with peers that share similar academic, career and co-curricular interests. In an RCP, you will meet friends with similar majors and interests, connect with faculty and staff right in your residence hall, and enjoy experiences designed especially for you. 

Housing & Residential Education offers two types of Residential Community Programs:

Living Learning Communities 

Living Learning Communities, known as LLCs, are for residential students with a special emphasis on an academic major, minor, or program. Students in an LLC live in the same area of the residence hall, take an academic class together, and engage in various on and off-campus experiences. There's no better way to learn something than to really live it!
