Living Learning Communities (LLCs)
A Living Learning Community (LLC) is a residential program that integrates intellectual and personal interests with residential experiences to enhance students' learning and personal development. These communities often involve students taking shared courses while living together in a supportive residence hall environment that fosters academic excellence, collaboration, and personal growth. Roanoke College is proud to offer multiple LLC options:
Honors
Located in Maxey Hall, this LLC houses members and friends of the Honors Program. If you are interested in living in this area, please contact Dr. Skip Brenzovich, Director of the Honors Program, for more information.

Mosaic House
Located in Maxey Hall, the Mosaic is a place for students who identify beyond the binary, are LGBTQ+ or are allies of the community.

If you are interested in Mosaic, please contact Dr. Jennifer Berenson or Dr. Sarah Murray for more information.
