Living Learning Communities (LLCs) were established to help students transition to university life by creating smaller, more personal groups within the larger campus environment. These communities aim to ease the academic adjustment to university-level instruction, foster meaningful interactions between students and faculty beyond the classroom, and promote positive connections among students at East Carolina University.

An LLC is a group of students who live together on campus, sharing the same floor or hallway, and who have common academic, social, or professional interests. Students in an LLC typically take one or two classes together and are invited to participate in special programs and events tailored to their interests. Additionally, they benefit from increased access to faculty and staff outside the classroom. ECU offers 14 distinct LLCs that your student can apply to join!

Applying for a Living-Learning Community program at ECU is a two pronged process. You must complete your Campus Living Housing contract as well as whatever application/process you need to complete for the Living-Learning Community, as it varies by LLC.

For the Campus Living Housing contract, once you have been accepted to ECU, an admittance packet and your ECU e-mail account details will be mailed to you. This account and password will give you access to the Pirate Port web site for the contracting process. The Campus Living contracting process for new students is available online after paying the ECU enrollment deposit, by using the link on the student’s Pirate Port account . The link is located under Tools and then the Student Affairs section. Select Campus Living-Housing and proceed to the sign-up site. New students will pay by credit card the $100 application fee and the $100 Advanced Room fee (credited towards Spring semester room charges).
