Freshman Year Initiatives
USI has several programs designed for new students. These programs support them as they adjust and become integrated into USI’s culture and student body. Living-Learning Communities At USI, first-year students with similar interests, goals and academic programs can be placed on designated floors within the residence halls. These living-learning communities (LLC) help students create a strong link between their lives in the residence hall and learning experiences in the classroom. Students who reside in an LLC enjoy the same amenities as other residents, yet they benefit from a different living experience. Students on the floor work together to develop a community that relates to a common theme. Themes can be selected from these topics: Global Community, Honors, Business, Education, Liberal Arts, Exploring Majors, STEM, Nursing and Health Professions.

Special programs and services are available to students who select LLCs. For more information, visit USI.edu/housing/livinglearning-communities.
