Because learning does not take place exclusively in the classroom, UT Dallas offers incoming freshmen the opportunity to participate in one of our Living Learning Communities (LLC).

LLCs are groups of freshmen who share common academic goals or interests. Students involved in these communities will live in the LLC Residence Hall, have the opportunity to enroll in classes together and participate in group activities, such as service projects and social events.

All majors are welcome. You do not have to declare a major that matches your LLC; however, once you are placed in an LLC you will have to enroll in required courses. Spaces are limited.

Fall 2012 Living Learning Communities are:
	Arts and Technology Computer Science Engineering Management Pre-Health

What benefits do I receive?
Living Learning students:

Have an easier transition in to college Maintain higher GPAs Make friends quickly with people who share common interests and goals Develop a support network with other students, advisors and professors Have increased faculty and staff contact outside the classroom

What are the expectations and requirements?
