About the Community

Living Here

The Living Learning Community is an inviting area with a community of diverse students. The majority of students that live in the LLC come from out of state and are primarily freshmen- and sophomore-level students. Students who live here also have the support of many Residence Life Staff members.

Its prime location near the Taggart Student Center (TSC), Fieldhouse, Aggie Recreation Center (ARC), and Quad make it the perfect place to live in order to be involved in activities around campus. Another exciting way to meet students who have the same interests is to join one of the LLC’s themed housing communities: Honors House (Building C), Sustainability & Social Action (Building E), and Aggie Involvement (Building D).

Every year, the LLC hosts many popular events free of charge. Our most notable event is "Casino Night", where residence can enjoy all the gambling pleasures and phenomenal food of Vegas right outside their room!

We also plan an area-wide Pep Rally at the beginning of the year where residents can indulge in games, shows, and artistic opportunities.

Area Council

Area Council is a great way for residents to get involved in their community. It's similar to a student council. Membership is free and it's always open to new recruits. Active members have added benefits of free lock-outs, a chance to apply for scholarships, leadership retreats and networking.

Residents participating in Area Council are given the opportunity to plan programs for their area with the assistance of an adviser and a healthy budget courtesy of the USU Residence Hall Association. Area Council places a heavy focus on advocacy initiatives, allowing residents to make a great impact in the community. In addition, Area Council provides many leadership opportunities and serves as a great résumé builder.
