Living Learning Communities (LLC) - What are they and what are the benefits?
Gordon College has created unique learning communities in two of its residence halls geared toward students who are actively engaged in learning and living in an environment that both nurtures and supports their educational goals. In Commons B, students with the goal of becoming teachers live and learn together in the School House Rocks community while students who are studying nursing and the allied health field live in the Nightingale Community in Commons A. In addition, the Play House community is the newest LLC to be featured in Commons A. Students majoring in Art, Theatre, Music and English will have frequent interaction with a Faculty Fellow-in-Residence/Professor (instructionally and programmatically). Students who participate in an LLC often have higher GPAs, more positive campus experiences and are more likely to graduate. Potential benefits include getting to know professors and classmates better‚ greater access to academic resources‚ and specialized programs directly in your residence hall.
Prospective residents may note their preference to live in the School House Rocks (Teacher Education), Nightingale (Nursing/Allied Health), or Play House (Fine Arts) Community on the Residence Hall Contract in the section marked Major or Interest of Study.
