What are Michigan Learning Communities (MLCs)?
Michigan Learning Communities (MLCs) are for students who wish to combine their academic and residential experiences in a close-knit community. MLCs are self-selected groups of students and faculty, often from diverse backgrounds, drawn together by shared goals and common intellectual interests. By joining an MLC, students are given access to specialized courses and programming geared towards their interests, and they will live together in a designated area within our residential communities. MLCs provide the best of both worlds by combining the personal attention of a small college environment with the unparalleled resources of a large research university.
Students apply to a Michigan Learning Community while completing the housing application in the Michigan Housing Portal. We encourage you to visit the Michigan Housing website for more information about how to apply.
