Living Learning Communities (LLCs) are a great way to enhance your Syracuse University living experience.  You get a distinctive living experience that will shape your entire time on campus. And the best part? LLCs are open to upperclass students, not just first-year students! With seven communities, each with different themes, sophomores, juniors and seniors looking for a unique living experience have the chance to find their fit! Sign up for an LLC as a current student by indicating on your housing contract (due April 12) that you want to participate in the LLC selection process. Then you’ll participate in the LLC round of Room Selection 2021 on Wednesday, April 14.
