What are Learning Communities?

Learning communities are small groups of 15-40 first-year students who live in the same residence hall and who are enrolled in the same section(s) of one, two or three courses.  As a member of a learning community, you and the other members of your learning community will live in the same residence hall. Your roommate may or may not be a member of a learning community, and you still have the opportunity to request a roommate regardless of whether that person applies to learning communities.  What an exciting opportunity to live and learn all in the same place!

There will be eight learning communities for the 2008-2009 academic year. Click on the "Learning Communities at JMU" link on the left to view descriptions of each learning community.
