Residential Learning Communities One unique housing option is to live in a Residential Learning Community. Living with students who share similar interests will ease your transition to college. RLCs also give you the opportunity to experience closer interactions with devoted faculty members. 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.

Space is limited in these communities, so you must apply by May 31. Find the application within the First Year Housing Contract step. Faculty represent- ing these communities will review your applica- tion. Submitting the required application does not guarantee acceptance to this community. Once accepted into an RLC, you will enroll in a specific section of one or more related classes.

Live with other Honors students and work with faculty members to explore mutual interests in learning and discovery.
