Combine academic and social learning for an unforgettable residence experience.
Unique to StFX, a living learning community (LLC) is a way to explore your interests by living alongside students who share similar interests. We believe residence life should be an extension of student learning—LLCs support academic success, encourage personal growth, and inspire and enhance opportunities for your development beyond the classroom.
Life in an LLC
When you choose to live in an LLC, you’re able to participate in creative programs and academic experiences with peers, students, and faculty members. Students say that their LLC helped them forge stronger connections with faculty, civic leaders, and university administrators; gave them an increased sense of community at StFX; and deepened their content knowledge and hands-on experiences in the LLC topic.
Unique learning opportunities
LLCs give you the opportunity to take part in activities both on and off campus. There is a dedicated upper-year peer mentor living in residence who will plan events and provide support to ensure a strong and engaging community is maintained all year. StFX offers LLCs themed around specific fields of study, areas of interest, and styles of living.
Nursing LLC
Mount St. Bernard, single traditional rooms
The Nursing LLC is open to first-year students considering a career in nursing or healthcare. Students enroll in nursing coursework, participate in nursing-related programming, and network with nursing faculty and educators, student leaders and university alumni. Students will be inspired and challenged by programming activities, and live with fellow students who share their passion for health and wellness.
Living in this community, you will gain a broad perspective of the career opportunities available in the healthcare field; enjoy activities, including special events and workshops, that deepen your academic experience; network with nursing faculty, educators, advisors and alumni outside of the classroom; and participate in activities that introduce you to the practical aspects of the nursing profession.
Substance-Free Living LLC
MacIsaac Hall, double and limited single, traditional style
Open to students of all disciplines and years of study who share a common commitment to a substance-free lifestyle. It is the responsibility of each member of the community to maintain the integrity of this position.
