Living and Learning Villages
Learning takes place not only in the classroom, but outside it as well. In partnership with University Housing and several academic departments, our Living and Learning Villages let you pursue your academic and personal goals in close collaboration with mentors, professors and others who share the same interests.

How To Apply Online
Incoming New Students
If you are interested in applying to one of our Living and Learning Villages, you must first complete a Housing Application for 2009-2010 by logging in to the MyPack Portal and selecting the student tab>Campus Life>University Housing>Student Request.
During the Application process, students will have an opportunity to express an interest in one of the following: Alexander Global Village, Arts Village, Impact Leadership Village (ILV), Students Advocating for Youth (SAY) Village or Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) Village. Once the Housing Application is completed and submitted, students may return to the Housing Self Service Page, select the Living and Learning Village link, and complete the appropriate Village applications. The completed Village applications will have a status of "Pending". Upon review and acceptance of the application, the status will change to "Approved" and you will be notified by the Village.
Students admitted into the First Year College (FYC) Village are automatically approved and do not need to complete an application.
Students who received an invitation to either the University Scholars Program or the University Honors Program must go to the Housing Self Service page in the MyPack Portal. Once there, students must select the University Housing folder and the Living and Learning Village link to accept the appropriate Village invitation. Only students who accept the invitation to participate in the Village will be placed in the Village (based on available space).
