Living Learning Communities

We know the transition to college can be challenging. That’s why Suffolk offers Living-Learning Communities (LLC) with designated floors or room blocks within our residence halls with specialized staff and resources to help you navigate your first year at Suffolk.

You’ll live alongside incoming students who share a common interest or program with you, while participating in specialized events, activities, and programming designed to enrich your education, expand your horizons, and strengthen your sense of community on campus throughout your first year.

FAQs About Living-Learning Communities

You'll live on a floor or part of a floor that is devoted to your area of interest or academic program. Your RA and a faculty or staff member work together to plan special programs for you and serve as your personal mentors during your first year. The programs they offer will help you explore class and internship options, learn about careers in your major after you graduate, network with alumni, and meet new friends and get involved.

Living in an LLC offers first-year students the advantage to take what they learn in the classroom and apply it outside. LLC students really explore their personal passions and make connections with students with similar interests and develop personal mentoring relationships with faculty, staff, and other students. Students are offered the opportunities to network with Boston business and have extra faculty member support in choosing career paths. By actively participating in an LLC, students tend to have:

  • Smoother transitions to college and Boston
  • Improved academic success
  • Strong social, academic, and professional networks that extend through and after graduation
  • Increased satisfaction with their overall experience
  • Increased knowledge of their major and internship and career possibilities

In May, you'll get an email from Residence Life asking you to complete your housing preferences on the housing portal. You'll be able to complete and submit an LLC application through the portal. You can go into the portal to change your other preferences (room type, request roommates, etc.) through the end of June.

We can't guarantee that any two given students will be able to live together on campus. We do, however, always try our best to accommodate roommate requests. If you select living in a LLC and we cannot fit your non-LLC roommate onto the LLC floor with you, we will assign you a new roommate who is in the LLC.
