What makes a living on a Living/Learning Community different than any other floor community on-campus?
Columbia College has always believed that young creative minds benefit from living within an incredibly diverse community—ethnically diverse, socio-economically diverse, geographically diverse… and diverse in artistic and academic interests. As a result, most of our residents live in communities with students of different majors and different backgrounds and different worldviews. Students who choose a Living/Learning Community are choosing to push this diversity further by focusing their attention and social activities around specific thematic explorations of the arts. While the floors are organized around a theme, we designed these themes specifically so that students would have a chance to learn from and collaborate with peers who expressed themselves in different styles and mediums. If you choose to participate in an L/LC, be prepared that you’ll be in constant contact with inspired (and inspiring) young creatives- on their floors and in their social lives.
