Living Learning Communities
OU’s living learning communities are dynamic residential spaces where students with similar interests, passions, or academic pursuits come together to live, learn, and grow. It's more than just a place to stay; it's a community where connections are made, ideas are explored, and friendships are formed.
You can register to live in a living learning community when you apply for housing online. For more information on our living learning communities, please contact University Housing at housing@oakland.edu.
