Living Learning Communities
What is a Living Learning Community?
Living Learning Communities, also known as LLCs, are made up of a group of students who have a common interest or are part of the same Faculty, and who live together in campus housing. We currently offer six different LLCs that are housed in a variety of residence buildings.
LLCs aim to positively impact your first-year experience by fostering an immediate sense of community and belonging, supporting your academic engagement, and by encouraging personal growth and development. By participating in a Living Learning Community, you will have the opportunity to make friends who share a common interest, and be invited to events, workshops and networking opportunities related to your LLC.
Interested in living in an LLC? When applying to residence at McMaster, you will have the option to complete a short supplemental application, if you choose.
