Integrated Learning-Living Communities

Want to have fun, make friends and earn higher grades? Then join an integrated learning-living community (ILLC). 

What is that you ask? It is a group of people who live in the same residence hall and take classes together.  Approximately a thousand students each year, about half of the incoming class, select to live in an ILLC. 

Why? Because as part of an ILLC, students make lifelong friendships, earn higher GPAs, and are more involved with campus activities. Plus, studies show that ILLCs help new students successfully transition into college life during both the first and second years. There is an ILLC for you! But, act quickly. They fill up fast. 

As a first year student at the University of Dayton, you may be invited to select an Integrated Learning-Living Community as part of your course preferencing process.

An ILLC is a community of learners who take classes together and live in the same residence hall.  ILLCs will give you a strong support network to help your first semester in college start off great.  In 2013, there are three types of ILLCs from which to choose:

Find the best fit for you.  Your ILLC will help you make friends, have fun, and survive college. 

ILLCs focus on establishing connections and achieving success both inside and outside the classroom. As part of an ILLC, you’ll develop relationships that will strengthen and support your learning experiences. By participating in engaging activities outside the classroom, you will realize your talents, focus on your goals, and successfully navigate the transition into college life.
