Residential Learning Communities

Living in an RLC

Moving into a new environment can be one of the most exciting aspects of starting college. By living on campus in a Residential Learning Community (RLC), you will gain tremendous opportunity for growth and development. An engaging learning environment takes shape when people share interests, knowledge, and experiences. Faculty, Housing and Residence Life staff, and peer educators enhance this environment by helping you become involved.

The activities in your RLC will touch all aspects of your life. You will enhance your learning, develop roommate communication skills, and stay up late discussing political issues. You will participate in events both academic and social. You will be exposed to different attitudes, values, and lifestyles. We encourage you to take advantage of all the opportunities available to you and to participate actively in creating them
