The people you live with in college are going to change your life and help you shape your future. They will be there every day to make you laugh, motivate you to do your best, and build a friendship that spans a lifetime.
For a college living experience you’ll never forget, try living in one of IU Bloomington’s learning communities
There are two kinds of learning communities on campus
Living Learning Centers (LLCs)
Each LLC has its own unique theme, history, and traditions. All of them will encourage you to explore academic, personal, and professional opportunities on and off campus. Communities include the Brian D. Jellison Living Learning Center, Civic Leaders LLC, and INSPIRE LLC.

Thematic Communities
Thematic communities focus on a particular subject or topic. Some are career-oriented, while others focus on culture, recreation, or social interests. Themes include the performing arts, health sciences, and outdoor adventures.

While living in INSPIRE, Rachel Green used the learning community’s resources to create Grand Slam for Literacy, a reading program for elementary students. The IU Athletic Department and INSPIRE have since expanded the program to include two annual reading challenges. Rachel says, “Through living in the LLC and creating programs like Grand Slam for Literacy, I developed relationships with administrators and teachers around the area.”
