Living Learning Communities
Living Learning Communities break the classroom barrier and place residents with similar interests within the same community so that even in their living spaces, residents are engaged in their fields of study. With relevant activities and programs, and a more constant presence of campus partners and faculty members, Living Learning Communities offer committed students not only comfortable living arrangements, but a focused and academic lifestyle as well. Available Living Learning Communities include:
SEA Floor Living Learning Community
Are you interested in Marine Science or Marine Biology? Then we have the community for you! The SEA Floor at Ingle Hall is one way to get involved with one of Coastal’s largest majors! This floor will have a Resident Assistant with knowledge of the Marine Science and Marine Biology floors. Among the programs that may be offered include:
- Lunches with faculty and staff in the Marine Science Department
- Trips to aquariums around the state
- Volunteer opportunities in the community to help students build their resume.
Mathematics Living Learning Community
The Mathematics community is for first year students who are interested in pursuing Mathematics or will be taking a math class they know they will need help in while at Coastal. This environment will allow for residents to connect over a common interest in Mathematics and build relationships for tutoring and assistance. A faculty member will work with the RA and RD of the community to connect and engage the residents in learning opportunities and career investigation opportunities.
- Lunches with faculty and staff in the Mathematics Science Department
- Opportunities to assist students who struggle with Mathematics
- Faculty programs for connection opportunities
Emerging Pathways Living Learning Community
Coastal Carolina University offers many majors for students to choose from, and for many students this decision is challenging; research has shown that more than half of students change their major through the course of their undergraduate studies. The Emerging Pathways Living Learning Community offers students who are considering multiple majors to be involved in a community dedicated to their academic development, with the ultimate goal of students in this community discovering a major and career that will fulfill their academic and personal needs. Some of the programs in this community will include
- Major selection workshops and other programs facilitated with the Career Center
- Guest speakers and lecturers from different fields
- Combined courses between members of the LLC.
- Networking opportunities with faculty and staff on campus
University Housing creates a foundation of care for resident safety & success.
