Don't go it alone! If you'd like to work with other students and friendly faculty who share your interests and concerns, then check out ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø's learning communities.
In a learning community, you take a set of classes (two or more) together, which gives you a great opportunity to make friends.
Even better, these shared classes are specifically designed to help you do your best as a college student.
Classes in a learning community are linked by common themes or student interest. Check out the list below to find a community that works for you.
