Consider joining a Residential Learning Community — there's no extra cost!
These close-knit communities allow Lumberjacks with similar interests to live and learn together. Each RLC offers specific academic and social events that connect you with peers and faculty members, letting you explore your major or interest on a deeper level.
RLCs are located in a specific wing within a designated residence hall; therefore, space in RLCs is limited. Explore these options early and indicate your interest on your housing application.
RLCs for first-year students:
- Aspire
- Aviation
- Fine Arts
- Future Teachers
- Generation Jacks
- Honors (also open to non-first-year students)
