Living Learning Center

The Luddy Living Learning Center, a residential community for first-year techies

As you consider IU housing, we think you’ll love one learning community in particular: the Luddy (LLC). Located in the Teter Quad, the Luddy LLC will help you start strong at IU, no matter your major.

Designed as a housing option for IU students who love technology, Luddy Living Learning Center residents can take advantage of special opportunities, like a trip to Silicon Valley.

Living Learning Center as a residential community for first-year students interested in informatics, computing, and engineering. Students interested in technology in general are welcome to apply. Our goal is to build a collaborative environment where students have access to that appears faculty members and alumni who will help them build a strong community. I think that being in the LLC really gave me a lot of connections and support from a lot of people throughout buddy and I will see you in general. I'm really grateful I would love to be involved, especially at money. And a lot of my opportunities came from that I was able to build here through our LLC class, the executive board that I was on. It kinda made me feel more at home right away. And that competence was able to springboard me into different clubs that aren't in that body in general. I have to say the people I've met and being able to just come down to the lounge and knowing a lot of people having the same type of nature is me being able to relate to them, learn more things about my major. I have a lot of friends to come to. My favorite spaces are the makerspace because you can make cool things like these 3D printed earrings. And I really like the reception area because it's a nice place to hang out with your friends. We want our students to be prepared personally, professionally, and academically. And the Luddy LLC gives us a space and the resources really focus on these high-impact practices that we know allows students to be successful.

My floor was very close. It gives you such a great group to lean on when you are struggling, and we had a great time bonding outside of homework.
