Learning Community Tours
Want an extra boost to your first year experience? While you’re here, schedule a personal tour of one of our 10 Residential Learning Communities, which bring together faculty, staff, and students around an explicit focus within the University Residence Halls. Unique seminars, class sections, and aligned co-curricular activities all help produce smaller, more intentional communities that set students up for success. Schedule a Learning Community tour.
