Student Voices

“The most fulfilling part of Douglass for me has been the connections I’ve made with my fellow engineers. While being a part of Reilly DELLC, I have made friends for life who understand the trials and tribulations of engineering school. We are always there to celebrate each other’s achievements.”  - Eshana Bethur

First-Year Communities

First-year STEM Living-Learning Communities (LLCs) are our most vibrant and robust experiences supporting success and persistence in STEM. There are two LLCs on Busch Campus, and one LLC on Douglass campus. Each LLC includes three components: Living, Learning, and Community that cultivate the development of students’ STEM identity.

First-Year STEM Living Communities (LCs) are for students whose majors are situated on Busch campus (Ex. Math, Physics, Pharmacy, Nursing, and Engineering) and who want to belong to a STEM community. LCs have two components: Living and Community. Spaces are limited in our LCs.
