Brief Program Summary
The Engineering Living-Learning Program is a collaboration between the College of Engineering and Residence Life that maximizes learning both in and out of the classroom. Students who are either direct enrolls or are planning to enroll in the College of Engineering are encouraged to consider this as a housing option.
Living with students who have similar academic interests in Engineering makes it easier to form study groups, refine your major focus within Engineering, and learn more about career options and internship opportunities. The college of Engineering supports three other different living-learning programs, all of which include organized faculty events, supplemental tutoring, and other activities that promote interaction with all areas of engineering: Engineering Focus Community, Women in Engineering, and the Ford Living-Learning Program.
