Residential Learning Communities One unique housing option is to live in a Residential Learning Community in order to experi- ence closer interactions with devoted faculty members and living with students who share similar interests will ease your transition to college. You and other members of your RLC will be in the same section of one or more classes related to your RLC’s academic focus. Application and selection process
Space is limited in these communities, so you must apply by May 15. Find the application within the First Year Housing Contract step. Faculty representing these communities will review your appli- cation. Submitting the required application does not guaran- tee acceptance to this community. Once accepted into an RLC, you will enroll in a specific section of one or more related classes. The Honors Living and Learning Center Students admitted to the Honors College are expected, but not required, to live in Shenandoah Hall, which serves as the Honors hall. Live with other Honors stu- dents and work with faculty members to explore mutual interests in learning and discovery. Intellectual engagement is the primary programming for the Honors Living and Learning Center.
