A great way to launch your UConn journey is by participating in a Learning Community with students whose majors or interests are similar to yours. By joining one, you'll be able to navigate UConn and our resources with a close-knit group of peers who will quickly make UConn feel like home.

With more than 30 Learning Communities, 20 of which are residential, students can select to live and learn in major- or interest-based communities. Students who choose to live in a Learning Community report forming closer bonds with faculty; making friends faster; gaining access to special programming, field trips, and unique education abroad programs; and having more opportunities to engage in leadership positions or undergraduate research. UConn's Learning Communities have garnered national attention for their unique approach to supporting first-year students.
