Living Learning Communities
Living Learning Communities provide educational and social opportunities to students who have chosen to live on campus. Students live with others who share an interest in academic and professional issues. Students are assigned to the same floor in the residence hall, take one or more core courses with other students in the LLC, and actively participate in their floor communities.
"Students accepted into Nevada's Living Learning Communities cultivate the skills and abilities needed to succeed at the University through a variety of unique experiences. The close interaction with faculty and experiential connections to the University curriculum help all participants develop leadership and community service values."
Shannon Ellis - Vice President for Student Services
"I like the convenience of having our English class in the lounge and the math professors down the hall. It is great to have such an enthusiastic math teacher."
Katie Withrow - Quincy, CA
Why are there nine Living Learning Communities in the residence halls?
Nevada embraces the diversity of interests and experiences brought to campus by new students. Multiple Living Learning Communities allow students to choose divergent paths while remaining committed to success at Nevada.
