Hear from students: why do you like living in the Honors LLC?
(Ava, a first-year student): A few reasons I like living in the LLC is that our R.A.s have a lot of experience with the coursework and the load that we鈥檙e kind of taking on as freshmen, so they are a really good resource to reach out to when you need help. And that the community around it definitely cares a lot about their classes and their class work. And that same drive transfers to community nights and meeting people and altogether it鈥檚 a really good experience.
(Rebecca, first-year student): I strongly recommend living at the Living Learning Communities because it has given me immense benefit. It has filled me with community that cares for school and also knows how to have fun. It is very important your first year because then you develop good study habits. I really, really recommend it, not only because there鈥檚, like, a gym and a pool and your own dining hall, but also because th people you meet there and the connections you make are just unforgettable and so beneficial for you. So, I really liked it, and I know you would too.
