Living-Learning Communities

Living-Learning Communities (LLCs)
Welcome to Hardin-Simmons—we’re glad you’re joining us! While living on-campus is one of the best decisions you can make coming to HSU, our Living-Learning Communities (LLCs) are “communities within a community” and are a great way to get to know people faster! Living-Learning Communities (LLCs) have been shown nationally and at HSU to assist students academically and socially; leading t higher GPAs, more connections to the larger campus community, and higher retention rates than their peers – this year 97% of our students returned for the spring semester!
Every student participates in at least one common course per semester and benefits from the connections that are made with other students who share similar interests. The connections made with individual faculty members outside the classroom, enhanced programmatic and service learning opportunities – all exclusively available to LLC students. Students will live in the same designated area of their Residence Hall specifically for Living-Learning Communities!
We have five different LLC’s to choose from: Exploring Majors, Health & Wellness, Honors, Pre- Health Sciences, Spiritual Formation, and Leadership! We hope this information will help you decide if LLC’s could help meet your academic and personal goals for this upcoming year!
Our hope is that you can grow spiritually and academically during your time at HSU.
