Housing Location
The Global Living Learning Community is located on one floor in Miller Hall. Female residents live on the South wing and male residents live on the North wing.
How to Apply
Students should submit their residence hall application as soon as possible after it opens in October, as room selection priority is based on the date the application is submitted. Beginning in March, students can indicate their Living Learning Community preferences in their myHousingPortal. Students eligible for room selection can select and change their own room while room selection is open. Housing will assign students who are not eligible for room selection or do not select a room based on their preferences and available space. After room selection ends, students can request a different room or LLC through the summer waitlist.
