I love the community that the living learning community has provided me. Coming to college can be overwhelming and having familiar faces that are in my classes and major has allowed me the opportunity to make connections and community within my major and also my dorm. People from my pod often meet up in our shared living spaces and eat dinner together, catch up, study, and hang out. Being in an LLC has made the transition easier for me and allowed me to connect with other people who understand my schedule and learn together. We also have monthly LLC events throughout the community of Bowling Green that has allowed me to meet new people, serve, and learn about new places in the surrounding area off campus.
