Advantages of Joining a Learning Community

MAKE LIFELONG FRIENDS

Learning Community students often say they found their best friends in the Learning Community.  As a part of a learning community, you'll be with people who are also transfer students and may share similar interests.  Learning community members tend to make friendships that last as they learn, dream, and discover college life together. 

Faculty Interaction

Get to know faculty outside of the classroom, an opportunity not all students have.  Faculty members from the Library and other areas of campus will be involved with the learning community. It might be a shared meal, a game night or more!  Many faculty members excited about what learning communities are doing on our campus!
