Living Learning Communities

Live Together, Learn Together

SUNY Delhi offers specialized Living Learning Communities where students in the same academic program can benefit from peer tutoring, a quiet study environment, and the support of a close-knit community.

Research shows that living and participating in this kind of focused learning environment leads to higher GPAs and a greater amount of credit hours earned.

Let us know on your student housing agreement and request form (there is a section addressing Living Learning Communities) and we will do our best to accommodate you. These options are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Many of our living learning communities have a supplemental fee to provide additional support and programming for students in these communities.
