The Living Learning Communities (LLCs) program at BSU aims to support student learning by encouraging academic achievement through connection to faculty, staff, like-minded peers and targeted programming. LLCs work to provide a structure that students can use to grow and develop into engaged citizens within the University and global community.​ These communities give students the opportunity to connect their academic goals with their co-curricular interests.
