Does it hurt my chances to get into a learning community if I apply to more than one?

Not at all. In fact, the more programs you apply to, the better your chances of getting into one of them.

Each learning community has a separate academic director and selection committee. The individuals making the selection decisions have no knowledge of your list of preferences or of other applications you have submitted.

Are learning communities limited to certain majors?

Only the Music, Nursing, and Women in Math, Science and Engineering communities are strictly limited by major. The Social Sciences and Public Affairs community encompasses a wide variety of majors and may consider applicants in other majors who show a strong interest in the program's theme and mission. The Bryan Hall and Social Justice learning communities are open to all majors, including exploratory majors. If you have questions about your eligibility for a learning community, please contact the director of that community directly. You'll find contact information on each learning community's website.

Can I be part of the University Honors Program as well as a Living-Learning Community?

Yes, you may be part of the Honors Program while living in a learning community; however, you may not be part of a learning community while living in a designated Honors residence hall. Some students, recognizing that their only chance to be part of a learning community will be in their first year, choose the learning community as freshmen and Honors housing as sophomores, and participate in Honors both years.
