Living-Learning Villages

Applying to Live in an LLV

• Why should I apply to live in a Living-Learning Village?

  There are many benefits to residing in a Living-Learning Village. Research shows that students who participate in an LLV:

  • Have higher academic success rates
  • Have higher levels of satisfaction with their college experience
  • Are more likely to graduate

  At Kennesaw State University, students who live in LLVs:

  • Feel a greater connection to their experience at KSU
  • Build strong relationships with a more intimate community of their peers
• How do I apply for a Living-Learning Village?

  Students wishing to take advantage of the benefits of a Living-Learning Village should indicate interest when applying for Housing in the Housing Portal. Within the 2021-22 Housing Application, students have the option to indicate their interest in one Living-Learning Village selected from a list of LLVs they are eligible to live in based on their campus and classification. For more information about the Housing Application, please visit the First-Year or Upper Class Housing Application webpages.

  Some LLVs require students to go through an application and screening process in addition to the Housing Application. The approval processes and qualifications for these communities are determined by our campus partners. Students must apply with the department/college and the LLV to be admitted to the LLV. Students who are interested in living in any of these LLVs are highly encouraged to complete their Housing Application and the departmental/college-specific application as early as possible. LLVs with additional approval processes include:

  • Advanced Majors Program
  • KSU Journey Honors
  • Thrive

  Some LLVs have application processes completely outside of the Housing Application process. Students still need to complete a Housing Application, but will not be able to indicate their interest in these LLVs in the Housing Application. Please reach out directly to the community contact listed for these specific LLVs:

  • ASCEND - Apply Here
  • Stonewall – Apply with the LGBTQ Center, lgbtq@kennesaw.edu
  • The Outfit – Apply with Jessica Medovich, jnm4706@kennesaw.edu
