What are Living- Learning Communities?


Living-Learning Communities at Slippery Rock University offer the opportunity for over 900 residence hall students to live with other students who share similar academic, career, or personal interests. Research supports Living-Learning Communities, stating that students who are successful academically and engaged socially are more likely to persist and graduate (Vincent Tinto, Ph.D., Distinguished University Professor at Syracuse University, and chair of the Higher Education program). At Slippery Rock, we strive to assist our students in developing personally, becoming responsible global citizens, and encouraging lifelong learning. The Living-Learning Communities are one of many ways to help our students achieve this. Students who live in these communities identify that the greatest benefit of living in a Living-Learning Community (LLC) is the opportunity to live and learn with other students who share their academic, professional and personal interests.
