What are Special Interest Floor Communities (Living Learning Communities and Thematic Communities)?
Our Special Interest Floor Communities range from Living Learning Communities to Thematic Communities. All of them are designed for special interests (such as Wellness) or majors (such as Hotel). There are some (Business and Leadership Project House) that require all students take a class together their first year or semester: those are Living Learning Communities because the students are learning together both in and outside of the classroom. The classes are often offered within close proximity to the residents’ floor, sometimes in the same complex. Thematic communities are floor environments residents can select based off of a variety of interests or majors. When you live there, the programs that are offered are going to be something of benefit to your interest area or major. Some of our Thematic Communities are: Diversity Living, Graduate and 23 or over, Global House, Honors, Hotel House, Hotel House First Year, and Wellness House.
