Living learning communities (LLC) are designed to foster the academic, professional, and personal growth of residents and provide opportunities for the development of new skills and leadership.
Co-educational Multi-Faculty
Vibrant and exciting communities bringing together first-year and upper-year students from the faculties of Arts and Science, Applied Science and Engineering, Physical Education and Health, and Music. Floors have co-ed washrooms with individually lockable shower/bath cubicles and toilet stalls.
Single-sex (Male or Female) Multi-Faculty
As with our co-educational communities, these floors bring together upper-year and first-year students in a multi-faculty, exclusively single-sex environment. The single-sex male floor is located in 45 Willcocks and the single-sex female floors are located in Wilson Hall.
Engineering Living Learning Communities
New College Residences and the Faculty of Applied Science have partnered to create a unique living opportunity for a small number of University of Toronto Engineering students. Our two Engineering Living Learning Communities (ELLCs) are composed of both upper-year and first-year engineering students who are equally dedicated to both their studies and a rich extracurricular life. These communities are supported by specially selected Residence Dons with a background in engineering and who understand the pressures associated with an engineering degree. Both ELLCs are located in 45 Willcocks.
Life Science Living Learning Community
Our Life Science Living Learning Community brings together students studying in Life Sciences or who have an interest in Life Sciences, health, or becoming a healthcare professional. This residential community combines a dynamic and engaging environment with academic and social support tailored for students studying or interested in Life Sciences. This community is supported by a specially selected Residence Don with an academic background in either Life Sciences or Healthcare and feature programming tailored to the needs of Life Science students. This LLC is located in Wilson Hall.
Academic Athletes Village
Half Olympic village half university residence, this community is designed for students interested in physical health, athletics and sports. Early morning practices, sore muscles, tournaments, meets and weekend games are all part of the day-to-day lives of students in this community. However, you don’t have to be a varsity athlete or PHE student to be part of this community, all you need is a strong commitment to, or interest in, physical health and wellness, healthy living, sports or exercise. There is a strong sense of team spirit in this energetic community and an emphasis on community leadership and education. This LLC is located in Wetmore Hall.
Leadership and Social Justice Living Learning Community
Students in the Leadership and Social Justice (LSJ) living leaning community in Wetmore Hall will have the opportunity to be a part of a truly unique community and engage in thought provoking programming opportunities. This community is designed for students who are new to leadership, as well as those who have experience working in leadership roles, who wish to explore and develop their leadership potential within a broader perspective of social justice, citizenship and community engagement. Programming in this community promotes participation in the New College Community and the wider University and Toronto communities and practical leadership experiences in a variety of settings.
