A university like Penn State can feel overwhelming at times, but there is a lot you can do to make a big campus feel smaller. One way is to join the College of Information Sciences and Technology’s Living Learning Community (IST LLC). Located in Thompson Hall in the West Housing Area—just across the street from the Westgate Building—the IST LLC offers designated campus housing to IST students so they can live and learn with classmates who have similar interests. The College of IST’s LLC strives to create a unique living environment that fosters social and academic interaction between students. It aims to enhance the awareness of information technology by bringing residents of common interests together and advocating for a greater appreciation for the future of technology. Through social, academic, and professional development activities, students can create a meaningful and impactful on-campus experience.
