Living Learning Communities


Living Learning Communities (LLC) at WMU let you find your people and make a big campus feel a lot smaller. You'll live in a tight-knit community within the larger WMU experience, surrounded by students who share your interests or major. It's an easy way to build connections, show up to events that actually matter to you, and tap into resources designed to help you thrive - academically and socially.

 

How do I sign up?

When you choose your room, pick one on the learning community floor. Living Learning Communities are noted in the navigation map and floor map when you choose your bed.

Roommates

If the friend you want to live with does not match the learning community you want to live in, you can still live together in a learning community. Just know the person who matches the learning community will need to be the one to choose the room during room selection.

Academic communities

A community of people pursuing a similar major can create several advantages. Many students say this type of unique environment is a great way to make personal, professional and lifelong connections. Plus, with added academic support and neighbors in the same classes, academic LLC residents tend to have higher GPAs than their peers living elsewhere.

Interest-based learning communities

Students who share similar interests or life experiences also have the opportunity to live in a community together. This allows them to build lifelong bonds with individuals and deepen their understanding of shared values.
