Living Learning Programs and Thematic Housing at UNLV
Imagine living on a floor where other students have your same major or interests in common.  Consider a living and learning community at UNLV.  Aside from living with others who have something in common with you, there are many benefits to living in a Living and Learning (or Thematic) community. 

• For the past three years, residents living in our thematic communities maintained higher cumulative GPAs than those living in our non-thematic housing
• Last year, students living in thematic communities had higher UNLV cumulative GPAs than the average of the entire UNLV undergraduate population
• Residents living in thematic communities report a higher level of overall satisfaction with their on campus living experience

Our Leadership Project House (LPH) take you to the next level by providing an in-class experience.  Every student living on the floor is required to enroll in one course together for the fall semester.  This course is exclusive to those living in the community.

• Leadership Project House (LPH)
• Students assigned to this floor will be required to enroll in EDU 230: Introduction to Leadership in the fall. *Only first year students are assigned to this community

 “The relationships that are created on the LPH floor are life-long.  And these people are not only my friends or neighbors, but my family.” – Jacie

“I like the fact that people have the same classes as me, so it makes it easier to study and it helps to know someone.  And the fact that we all share a common ground on which we can talk about.” – Charles
