生活学习社区

Roger Williams University began offering 生活学习社区 (LLCs) more than fifteen years ago, when the University 荣誉项目 chose to include a living component to accompany the overall honors experience. 从那时起, 这所大学接待了许多类型的生活, ranging from major-based to special interest 和 affinity based spaces. We believe that 生活学习社区 are an integral piece of the RWU education, 尤其是对我们即将网赌的十大网站的学生.

国家研究表明,有限责任公司:

  • 提高自信
  • 打开学生的思想,接受新的想法和经验
  • 提高学生在课堂上的参与度
  • 引导学生更批判性地思考,获得更深入的知识
  • Create a greater sense of connection to the university community

Our current LLC offerings have exp和ed as of the 24-25 academic year. Students will have the option to select whether they are in a special interest or affinity community, 或者如果他们喜欢选择他们特定的房间分配.  Students interested in these communities will identify their preferences 和 we will make every effort to match students with their preferences. Each area will be comprised of a cohort of approximately 20-40 students (depending on the residential community).

在RWU,我们的有限责任公司,兴趣和亲和力社区:

  • 让学生有更多的机会接触教职员工.
  • 在社区中创建一个社区
  • Allow for greater interaction with Peers 和 Resident Assistants
  • Serve the specific needs 和 interests of the students residing in them

LLCs at RWU are designed to help students get the most out of their first-year by strengthening the connection between the classroom 和 the residence hall, 并帮助他们从高中过渡到大学.  作为这些团体中的一员, students will have the support 和 encouragement they need to make the most of their college experience.
