Living & Learning Communities
Fostering communities with the purpose of advancing the public good.
The LLCs are first and second-year programs that combine academic learning, residential life, and hands-on experiences. Through retreats, individual time with faculty and staff, engaging guest speakers, and opportunities to meaningfully connect with the larger community, these programs deepen your learning and establish lasting friendships.
Your Passion
Every quarter, our students take seminar classes that relate to that theme. These classes are taught by DU professors and credits from these courses can be applied to relevant minors. Our programs include a collaborative learning environment, project-based learning, guest speakers, field trips, and engagement with the greater Denver community.
Your Community
You'll live alongside a floor of students with similar interests and diverse experiences. Dedicated staff and faculty support and care about your success.
Your Future
Gain exposure to new ideas that will broaden your worldview. Discover opportunities for research, internships, and future career connections to achieve your dreams.
