Why Live On Campus? The University of North Florida is committed to ensuring the academic and personal success of its students. In working to fulfill this commitment, over the past several years we have learned that living in on-campus housing can make a world of difference in what our students take away from their college experience and in their success rates. The benefits of living on campus are especially significant for students who have just graduated from high school and are attending their first year of college. Research tells us that those students who live on campus during their first year: • have higher grade point averages, • make a smoother transition from high school to college, • have higher retention and graduation rates, • report greater satisfaction with their college experience, and • make better use of the educational and support services provided by their universities than do commuter students.

Living-Learning Communities and Theme Housing Why Live in a Living-Learning Community (LLC)? Students who join a living-learning community: Have an easier transition into college Maintain higher GPAs Make friends quicker with people who share common interests and goals Develop a support network with other students, university staff, and professors Interact with professors and staff outside the classroom Increase critical thinking, self-awareness and interpersonal communication skills Meaningfully connect with Jacksonville through community-based projects Are exposed to additional leadership opportunities within the residence halls A Living-Learning Community (LLC) allows students with similar academic interests to take classes together and live on the same floor in the residence hall, while creating meaningful relationships with faculty, staff and other LLC students. Theme Housing promotes a direct link between residential and extracurricular life for students. It provides students who have common extracurricular interest the opportunity to live together in campus housing while fulfilling a common goal.
