Aquinas Scholars Honors Living Learning Community
The Aquinas Scholars living learning community is designed for and limited to first-year students who have been admitted to the Aquinas Scholars Honors Program. The program is designed to enrich the educational experience of the school's most talented and dedicated students by creating a community of scholars dedicated to academic excellence and the ideals of a liberal arts education.
Students in the LLC will live on floors in Schoenecker Hall North (formerly Tommie North) with a roommate who is also an Honors student. This community will have the opportunity to participate in co-curricular activities that will enrich your academic experience.
What Aquinas Scholars Honors LLC students said about their experience:
"I have made almost all of my friends within my LLC through the LLC events, classes, and even meeting in the bathroom. It's really awesome to be surrounded by so many people of similar interests."
"My LLC community values learning in a more in-depth way. Everyone wants to learn and collaborate together."
