Research shows that students who participate in LLCs persist at higher rates, feel more connected to campus, and graduate at higher rates than their peers. 

The Second Year LLC is designed to help you: 

• Deepen friendships and strengthen support systems 

• Build confidence and leadership and communication skills 

• Stay engaged in campus life 

• Prepare for internships, employment, and life after WKU 

Living Learning Communities are designed to encourage and support you as a student!  We strongly encourage all LLC members to participate in LLC events and activities, as their academic schedule permits. 

Time commitment can vary, but expect a minimum commitment of 1-2 hours for a regular week. The more involved you are, the more you will get out of the experience!  

Upon accepting an offer, students will review a LLC Learning Contract with expectations of their involvement in the LLC. 

LLC events/programs are an important part of the LLC experience. LLC programs connect students to out-of-classroom opportunities to further their academic understanding and connections, and/or help connect students through their shared interests.  

The LLC Learning Contract will outline any student requirements for program attendance. Time commitment can vary, but you can generally expect a minimum commitment of 1-2 hours for a regular week. 

Should you have credit for English 200, you will take English 300.  

 

 

All LLC students are required to live with another person from their LLC. 

If you have been accepted into an LLC and your preferred roommate is on the waitlist for the same LLC, you would be placed together if the preferred roommate receives an offer for the LLC.  

If you decide you would rather live with your preferred roommate instead of participating in the LLC, please email llc@wku.edu. Additionally, please update your living preference in the WKU Housing Portal to reflect "requested roommate" as your top preference.
