Built-In Connection 

WSU's Living Learning Communities focus on enhancing the learning and community building that occurs in all of our residence halls. Through involvement in an LLC, students will be enrolled in a WSU course with other students who live in their residence hall—the LLC experience links learning inside and outside of the classroom around shared interests. Students who are part of an LLC will have access to events and programs in their residence hall related to the topic of the LLC. Living Learning Communities are open to students of all majors.
