What are Residential Learning Communities?

Residential Learning Community members:

  • Are communities of 15-120 first-year students
  • Live in or near the same residence hall.
  • Enrolled in the same section(s) of 1-3 courses (depending on community). See link “Which one is for me” for details.

*Your roommate may or may not be a member of a residential learning community. You have the opportunity to request a roommate regardless of whether that person applies to residential learning communities. 

Our Mission Statement

The Office of Residence Life at James Madison University is committed to designing and maintaining a caring environment that encourages academic success, respect, personal growth and responsibility to one's community.
