Our themed Living Learning Communities (LLCs) are designed to immerse you in an environment where academic, social, and personal growth converge. These communities bring together like-minded students who share a common interest, major, or career goal, fostering an environment where passions can flourish.
Choosing to live in a Living Learning Community at Trent University is not just about finding a place to live; it is about embracing an enriching, transformative university experience.

What are the benefits of living in an LLC?:
Living Learning Communities (LLCs) offer a unique residence experience combining academic and social aspects of university life. Some of these benefits include:
- Academic Support: LLCs are designed to create a positive academic environment, providing access to resources like study groups, and academic advisors who are invested in student’s academic success.
- Sense of Belonging: Living with like-minded individuals can foster a sense of belonging and community. Shared interests and goals can lead to lasting friendships.
- Peer Learning: Living with peers who share academic interests can lead to valuable peer-to-peer learning experiences. Opportunities to cooperate on projects, study together, and engage in discussions related to your field of study.
- Networking Opportunities: LLCs host events, workshops, and advertise guest lectures related to your field of interest. These events provide excellent networking opportunities, allowing students to connect with professors, professionals, and fellow students.
- Increased likelihood of being a student leader: Living in an LLC can lead to personal growth and development. Students may gain a deeper understanding of their chosen field, develop leadership skills, and become more culturally aware through interactions with a group of peers with diverse experiences.
- Resume Building: Being part of an LLC can be a valuable addition to a resume. It demonstrates a commitment to a chosen field and willingness to engage in a rigorous academic environment.
How to Apply:
- Complete a residence application form and pay the non-refundable $50 application fee. Submit a $500 residence deposit on or before the application deadline. Learn more about applying here.
- Rank your top three preferences of Living Learning Communities. For each LLC preference, you will be asked to answer some questions to explain your interest, your past experiences that will contribute positivity to the community, and what personal growth you hope to accomplish.
*If you select a roommate on your residence application, you must both apply and be accepted to the same LLC to live together.
