First Year Living-Learning Communities and Themed Living Communities for the 2024-2025 Academic Year

Am I guaranteed a room in Sunderland Hall if I am selected to be in a freshman Living-Learning Community (LLC)?

Some LLC/TLC sections will be in Sunderland Hall and others are in Smith or Wallace. Please check the theme description and location on the main page.

Am I guaranteed a spot in an LLC/TLC if I am in the Honors Program or an athlete?

No, all students wishing to be in an LLC must apply and submit all  requirements by the May 15, 2020 deadline.  Placement in an LLC is based on the quality of the application and short essay answers.

DO I HAVE TO MAJOR IN A CERTAIN SUBJECT TO SIGN UP FOR AN LLC?

Students of all majors and minors, especially those who are unsure of their major, are welcome and encouraged to apply to any of the LLC sections.

Are there additional time requirements for students in an LLC?

Yes, but the additional time required is very minimal. Students are asked to participate in programming activities related to their LLC/TLC theme each semester. These activities are based on the theme of the group.

What is the deadline to apply for an LLC/TLC?

Applications typically open mid-November for the following Fall semester. Accepted students will be notified by email once the applications open. Deadline to apply (online LLC application, paid deposit, and housing contract) must be submitted by 11:59 on April 15.

To be considered for placement in one of the LLC themes all requirements must be received by 11:59 p.m. on April 15.

Requirements include:

  • Completed LLC application – submitted online
  • Completed Housing Contract
  • Paid Deposit

There will be no exceptions to this deadline. 

When and how will I know if I have been selected to be in an LLC / TLC?

All applicants will be notified by email of either immediate acceptance or if they have been placed on a wait list. Notifications will go out prior to May 1, 2024. The students who are selected to participate in an LLC/TLC will be asked to accept their placement by following the instructions in the email. If acceptance confirmation is not received by the deadline stated, that spot will be offered to a student on the wait list. 

If I am selected to participate in an LLC, is there an additional cost associated with the program?

There is not an additional cost for the program. However,  LLC sections that are housed in Sunderland Hall which is comprised of single rooms, will have a higher housing cost. You can view housing costs at https://www.drury.edu/housing/ .
