Living Learning Communities (LLCs) are an option for students wanting to live on the same floor or residence hall as those who share a common interest, passion, or major. Students can indicate whether they would like to be a part of an LLC on the Millikin Housing Application. The Office of Campus Life reviews the applications, and students are placed in a community based on preference and availability.
First Year - Nursing (Dolson Floor 1)
If you are a student majoring in nursing at Millikin, this experience is a great way to network with others in your major.
