Welcome to NMT Living/Learning Communities

What is a Living/Learning Community?

Designed to encourage academic success, a Living/Learning Community (LLC) is composed of a group of freshmen living in the same residence hall who take the same three courses together as a group. These courses, which include a freshman year research course, are linked together through a common theme, which creates a more engaging and realistic atmosphere.  In addition, there are wonderful sources of support for the Learning Community, such as Learning Coaches, on-site tutoring in the residence hall, and classrooms and study areas designed with the latest technology.  Being involved in a Living/Learning Community provides participants with tremendous peer-support in a very challenging college atmosphere.  The combination of living together and learning together in the midst of a strong academic support system provides the best possible chance of academic and career success.
