Living Learning Communities
What is a Living Learning Community?
Our Living Learning Communities are a great way to connect with students who share similar interests and continue your education outside the classroom.
Residence Life has collaborated with our academic partners and other student success partners to bring you opportunities to live and learn in an integrated academic residential environment.
This dynamic residential experience offers specialized programming, interactions with McMaster faculty and staff and a supportive community that focuses on student success.
