Ogden College Living Learning Communities


In a WKU Living Learning Community (LLC), students with similar academic interests live together on a residence hall floor, take courses together over the academic year, and participate in activities tailored to their specific majors or interests. LLCs are designed to help you connect socially, succeed academically, engage with WKU faculty, staff, and administrators, and chart your course at WKU.

Benefits of Joining an LLC:

  • No additional cost
  • Academic LLCs may include enrollment in two linked courses that count toward your major or general education requirements
  • Receive your housing assignment before other students
  • Priority course registration for LLC courses
  • Form deeper connections with faculty and staff
  • Connect with fellow students and create lasting relationships
