There are eight LLCs on campus, and they are called the CNR, Engineering, Gault, Gem, LLC 3, Scholars, Syringa and Upham. Each of these buildings have requirements to live there. Upham is specifically dedicated to first-year students. The LLCs offer single and double rooms with same gender suites with a bathroom, kitchenette and a furnished living room. Each LLC building comes with a community kitchen, study lounge, game room and a regular lounge.
