What is a living-learning community?
With the intended goal of making a large campus feel small, Living-Learning Communities at Kent State University are characterized by their smaller size, their relative intensity, and the purposeful support provided to the students who participate in these communities. Living-learning Communities range in size from 10-75 participants. These smaller groups of students live near each other in the same residence hall or apartment building to assist in developing supportive peer relationships. Students who participate in these communities are scheduled in a set series of connected classes and participate in a series of connected programs, activities, and events designed to enhance their academic experience through intentionally shared experiences. This type of community is characterized by the close working relationships among students and faculty, specialized course assignments, study groups, close relationships among student members and specialized events, activities and workshops.
