Integrated Learning-Living Communities
Find Your Community at UD
Creating a welcoming and inclusive campus has always been the foundation of our Marianist education. At the University of Dayton, many first year students have the option to join an Integrated Learning-Living Community (ILLC) to help form friendships and create a space where they can live, learn and grow together. Our unique ILLCs allow students with a shared major or interest to live in the same residence hall, take classes together and participate in co-curricular activities outside of the classroom.
