About Living/Learning Centers

The Concept

The fundamental premise of the living-learning relationship is that the residence hall is an important part of the total educational experience at Vanderbilt University. If students who live together focus around a common educational purpose, their residential experience will reinforce their academic goals.

Because a Living/Learning Center tends to focus on a certain academic discipline, it's natural to find students majoring in subjects related to that focus living there. However, students from any school or discipline who wish to live in a Living/Learning Center are welcome. Both men and women may participate in any of these unique progams.

In general, only upperclass students are assigned to Living/Learning Centers. On occasion, applications from second semester freshmen have been considered for spring semester vacancies in the McTyeire International House.
