Magis Row

NOTICE | Magis Row LLC will be on hold for the 22-23 academic year as a result of limited resources and staffing shifts and adjustments. We are continuously working to revitalize all LLCs to ensure they uphold the integrity of the mission, vision, and values that were created by its advisors. We apologize for any inconvenience this decision may cause, and we appreciate your understanding in advance.
Magis Row is an independent living learning community for students to pursue individual passions through the infusion of academics, service, and daily life. Reflecting on the Jesuit value of “Magis,” students consider how to ask “more” of themselves and others. This unique residential experience encompasses a continued commitment to personal growth through community engagement, social awareness, and leadership development with a dedication to service.

Magis Row strives to create a dynamic community where residents interact with one another, identifying intersecting interests among a diverse, passionate group.

In order to apply to Magis Row, each group must have a student coordinator. Note: You can only apply in groups of 4 and 5. The student coordinator will serve as the liaison between the group members and the Office of Residential Living. In order to start an application, the coordinator will need to:
- Create a group, username and password. Click the “Create a new group” feature below. Note: You can only apply in groups of 4 or 5.
- Share the username and password with the rest of the group members, and make sure that the members add themselves to the group by clicking the “Add yourself to a group” feature below. Note: make sure all members use the correct username and password created by the student coordinator.
- Once all members are in the group, the coordinator needs to verify the group. This is done by clicking the “Verify group” feature below.
- Once the group is verified, all members need to make sure to complete the essay questions of the application. Note: application questions can only be accessed after the group is verified. Please click on the Magis Row tab, on the navigation/numbered line, to access the application questions and make sure to complete the questions fully.
- Lastly, the coordinator is the person that needs to schedule the interview using the interview time slot feature in the application. The Office of Residential Living will be in contact with the coordinator with updates as needed.
Applications should ONLY be submitted by members who will live in the community in the Fall of 2020. You will have the opportunity to discuss study abroad switches during Magis Row interviews.
