LIVING LEARNING COMMUNITIES

“One of the most memorable activities was small group coffee dates and lunches last year; it was so lovely to get to know the students, their goals and ideas and their needs. I found it really valuable to learn about how I could help and support them individually and as a group within the LLC.” — Cora Palfy, Creative Arts LLC Adviser, Assistant Professor of Music

“The open and friendly environment makes the hall itself feel like a home. Also, having similar classes and hobbies as other LLC members makes it easier to engage and collaborate with members inside and outside of the hall.” — Jeremy Palladino ’22, Communications LLC

LIVING LEARNING COMMUNITIES

LIVE. LEARN. What is a Living Learning Community? Living Learning Communities (LLCs) are groups of students living in a common residential community who interact academically and socially with each other, faculty and staﬀ around a shared topic, passion or interest. These communities provide support and enhance students’ success. Elon oﬀers more than 20 Living Learning Communities for first-year students, sophomores, juniors and seniors to explore. More than 400 students participate in Living Learning Communities at Elon.

“I applied for an LLC because I thought it would be a great way to meet like-minded students with similar interests as me.” — MacKenzie Martinez ’21 Polyglot Living Learning Community
