A community for everyone

There truly is a community for everyone here at UofL, and it all begins with our Living-Learning (LLC) and Themed (TC) communities! LLCs and TCs are located throughout our twelve residence halls on Belknap Campus. Students live together while accessing academic and staff support, leadership opportunities, and other resources tailored to their interest or goal. In addition, LLC members participate in courses together.

What's the difference?

LLCs are designed for students who share a common academic goal, major, or career path, while TCs bring together students with shared interests, activities, or hobbies.

Both LLC and TC members engage in shared courses or experiential learning opportunities, and all communities actively participate in initiatives aimed at enhancing campus and local community development.

LLCs and TCs offer students the chance to live alongside peers who share similar goals, interests, or passions within specific sections of residence halls. These communities provide a unique environment where members benefit from personalized academic and staff support, leadership development, social activities, and more.

Students in our communities often take select courses together or participate in hands-on learning experiences, creating a more connected educational journey. This past year, nearly 25% of first-year students applied to live in an LLC or TC, highlighting their popularity and impact.
