A living and learning community (LLC) is a group of students who share common academic interests, live together in a residence hall, participate in activities together and are also enrolled in a cluster of related courses.

Since its inception in 1996, Living and Learning Programs at Bloomsburg University have been a forum for the exchange of ideas and information within a residential setting, providing out-of-class interaction between students and their faculty and supporting their academic endeavors. Through the years these Communities have fostered a collaborative atmosphere for faculty and students to construct new understanding and innovative strategies for integrating the in and out-of-classroom experience.

This website is designed to provide you with an overview of the various Living and Learning Communities at BU. You'll also hear from students, faculty and staff who are associated with these LLCs. They'll give you some first hand feedback on their experiences.
