Living-Learning communities

Ive read up on them on the illini site, but im still not sure what they are, or how they will benefit me(or for that matter, what is their purpose).

I’m mostly interested in the health professions LLC (in Hopkins), so can someone tell me how that would benefit a pre-med student?

Also, can you tell me the general purpose of the LLCs.

I was in an LLC at my previous uni so I’m guessing it’s pretty similar. LLCs just try to get together people that share similar interests/majors/ways of thinking/etc. Events sometimes come to them (professors, etc), but for the most part it’s there for students to help each other out when it comes to studies, etc. since they’re probably sharing a similar major or goal.
