Living-Learning Community

Each learning community is the result of partnership between Housing and Residence Life and a variety of academic and educational on-campus departments.
First-Year students are encouraged to apply by the priority deadline of April 1st. Students who do not apply by April 1st must apply by the regular deadline of May 1st to still be considered.
Students who apply by the priority deadline of April 1st will be notified of their decision within two weeks. Students who apply by the regular deadline of May 1st will be notified of their decision by May 5th so they can participate in roommate pairing beginning May 6th.
Students who apply by the regular deadline will be placed on a waitlist. If space in an LLC becomes available, students who applied will be given the option to change their room assignment. If there are more spaces in an LLC than applicants, all first-year students will be informed of the available space and must indicate interest via email to housing@gonzaga.edu to be considered.
No. If you apply and are admitted to an LLC, you cannot opt out of the LLC at any point. Should a room change become necessary, you may change rooms within the building of the LLC.
Roommates

No. You simply need to be in a roommate group before selection.

Upper division housing is generally reserved by current GU students, however, waitlist may be available for students that qualify as upper division.
