What is a Living Learning Community?
The
living learning programs at WSU are designed to
offer you living arrangements with other students
who have similar goals and to give you the chance
to extend your studies beyond the classroom and
into your daily experience. Living
Learning programs provide a bridge between the
classroom and outside-of-class life.
Honors
Community
- The concept of the Honors
Community is to provide a quality living
environment that will allow students to grow
and foster in their academic and personal lives.
- This community was built with the goal of
establishing a living environment that would
allow students of higher academic success to
interact, grow, and develop together.
- One of our prestigious faculty members has a residence in the heart
of the community.
- Included in this community will be your very
own Honors classroom. This room will be used
for classes that some, if not all of the honors
students, share.
- The honors
community boasts a new kind of student services.
Service area plans include a convenient store/deli,
computer network help station, and various other
student-oriented services.
ECS
(Engineering and Computer Science)
- ECS is the new housing option for freshman
majoring in Engineering or Computer Science.
- EGR 190/191 teaching assistant will be living
in the residence hall.
- Special activities will be available for
student to enjoy, including tutoring, special
speakers, seminars and help rooms.
- You will have the opportunity to meet freshman
students majoring in engineering or computer
science.
Residential
Learning
- In the Residential Learning Community, first-year
students take three common classes together
(pending outcomes of placement tests) in a small
group of no more than 25 (ENG101, HST 101, and
UVC101) and live on the same floor.
- One of your classes, UVC101 will be co-instructed
by an academic advisor from University College
and a staff member in Residence Life.
- UVC 101 is a first-year student success course
that teaches adjustment to college life, academic
success strategies, personal development, and
career development. In the WSU Living Learning
Communities, it also serves as the course that
links the students and their experiences inside
the classroom together.
