Living Learning Communities

 

 ► What is a Living Learning Community (LLC)?

Living-Learning Communities provide students with the opportunity to explore common interests with other students in their living environment. This opportunity helps them to make purposeful links between the academic and co-curricular components of their university experience.

In a Living-Learning Community, you’ll live in a small group or “cluster” of students who are enrolled in the same academic program or have the same personal interests as you do. The programming and structure of each community is designed to meet the unique needs of the students. LLCs are a great place to live and an easy place to make friends, since you already have a common interest.

The Healthy Active Living Learning Community (LLC) at the University of Manitoba is an opportunity for you to grow as a person and live the lifestyle that makes you happy and healthy. This unique community is intended for a diverse range of students who are passionate about a lifestyle involving health and wellness.

Each year, members of the community have attended a Winnipeg Blue Bombers home game at the CanadInn Stadium. Fitness challenges throughout the year, promoted by free gym passes to the Frank Kennedy Center, allowed participants to make health a priority. Members of the LLC also had the opportunity to give back to the community through the only partnership with Right To Play Canada in the province of Manitoba.

As a community with specialized programs, off-campus trips, volunteering, event planning, and a free Frank Kennedy Center gym pass, the LLC will help participants reach their goals and succeed in residence. This unique floor engages residents in their own passions for healthy living, allowing them to shape the community for their benefit.

The Healthy Active LLC will be housed on the 6th floor of Pembina Hall Residence, our newest building. Each resident has a single room with private washroom and a meal plan.
