Living Learning Communities
Living Learning Communities (LLCs) are residential communities where students are able to share and deepen their passions through social, educational, and reflective activities. These communities support Georgetown University’s focus on active and collaborative learning by extending discussions beyond the classroom, creating new opportunities for students and faculty to interact, and promoting the value of experiences that occur in residential spaces.
The following are the overarching goals for all Living Learning Communities at Georgetown. These goals are used to provide direction and purpose for the program as a whole:
- Develop a sense of belonging among those participating in LLCs through intentional dialogue, informal interactions, and shared experiences.
- Facilitate opportunities for students to deepen understanding, discover new passions, and make meaning of each community’s specific theme.
- Provide a space for purposeful engagement amongst faculty/staff and students beyond the classroom.
Each living learning community has an application process that will be completed through Hoya Housing. New and returning LLC applicants must complete their appropriate application to be considered a member of the LLC each year.
