Welcome!

welcome to learning communities

"Learning Communities... Truly build friends for a lifetime."

"The best part... is having some of your classes with the same people."

Welcome to the Learning Communities. UW-Whitewater invites first year students to live and study with peers who share similar interests. In a Learning Community, about 25 students live together and share common courses. Learning Communities are led by faculty members who mentor students and encourage them to carry classroom discussions into their residential communities.

Some advantages of joining a freshman learning community are:

  • Exploring your academic and career options
  • Developing leadership skills
  • Organizing activities and leading committees within the LC
  • Connecting with a faculty or staff member in your area of interest
  • Finding your passion in life
  • Off campus experiences related to your Learning Community theme
  • Building friendships that will last a lifetime
  •
