Each complex features special living environments with programs tailored to meet the needs of residents.

Diversity Living and Learning Community (DLLC) (South Complex)
The goal of this community is to create a safe environment where diverse dialogues and activism can flourish through a structure that encourages faculty engagement with residents inside the classroom and within the residence halls. Residents of the DLLC will enhance their knowledge of diversity while becoming leaders committed to building positive and inclusive communities that break down the walls of oppression on campus and within the larger society.

Global House (Upper Class Complex)
Students from the U.S. and around the globe live and work together to appreciate and promote diversity through activities like discussions, language workshops, and special cultural events.

Graduate and 25 or Older Living Community (Upper Class Complex)
The Graduate and 25 or Older Living Community is composed of students who are 25 years of age and up or students who are pursuing a Graduate degree here at UNLV. This floor is intended to be a study intensive upper class environment that will help support the needs of a student population that maintains multiple life commitments and varying schedules. This environment will afford you the opportunity to live with a cohort of students who share like interests in the pursuit of academic goals.

Leadership Project House (Tonopah Complex)
Leadership is a process, not a position. Be part of the process by joining the premiere leadership opportunity for first year student living on-campus at UNLV. Students living on The Leadership Project floor community will learn how to make a difference both on and off campus. Participants will experience what it means to be a leader at UNLV by participating in an introductory leadership retreat, interactions with campus and community leaders, exposure to hands-on leadership development skills, and mandatory enrollment in EDU 220, the Introduction to Leadership Experience course in the spring semester (this is a 2-credit course). Please see application for additional requirements.
