What's an LLC?
A Living Learning Community (LLC) is a group of students who share a common major or interest. They live on the same floor in Heritage Park Towers in addition to taking some common courses together. To see what LLCs are available, scroll down the page!
Components of an FAU Living Learning Community (LLC)
What makes the Learning Community program unique? When a freshman enrolls in an LLC, there are 5 key components that bring them together:
(1) A Shared Class Schedule
- Great classes to choose from (generally part of the ‘core curriculum”)
- Ideal class times
- Special registration (the LC team registers you for your Fall classes)
- Unique opportunity to work with your cohort in different classes
- Get academic support and understanding from your peers
- A special section of SLS1503 for only your LLC cohort (taught right in your residence hall!)
(2) Excellent Instructors & Faculty
- An SLS1503 instructor that has a vested interest in your LLC’s focus
- Award winning faculty often teach the LC sections of the classes you can take
(3) Shared Community/Living Space
- Each LLC has it’s own floor in Heritage Park Towers (a suite-style residence hall reserved for freshmen)
- Each LLC has an RA that is a successful FAU student with an interest in your LLC’s focus
- Each LLC has their own study lounge and common areas that they can access at any time
(4) Unique Support Network
- Each LLC has a committee (that includes College faculty, staff, and student affairs professionals) that works to coordinate your experience throughout the year
- Reminders and updates about FAU-related news emailed to you throughout the year
- Skilled Residence Life staff who understand the unique LLC experience
- The Heritage Park Support Center is located at your front door (literally!); this satellite office provides resources to all LC students throughout the year (from freshman advisors and career counselor to tutors and writing consultants!)
(5) Special LLC Events
- Offered at least once per month throughout the entire academic year
- Activities and events organized to enhance the focus of your LLC
- Opportunities to connect with your FAU College, academic department and faculty
- Semester celebrations and banquets for all LLCs
All students participating in an LLC will be assigned a housing placement in Heritage Park Residence Hall in the North Tower.
