A Living and Learning Community is an environment where students with similar interests, scholarships, or majors live together on a dedicated floor in a residence hall. Students involved build strong friendships and campus connections that will help them find success in all aspects of college life.
Students in the West Campus STEM Community are interested in:
- Physics
- Engineering
- Math
- Statistics

West Campus STEM is for incoming freshmen and incoming/returning sophomores.
