Residence Hall Communities
For some students, coming to college can be a tough transition. We understand that the university campus can feel very large, so we have intentionally designed smaller hall communities within our residence halls. These special interest communities are divided into three basic types: Themed Communities, Living Learning Communities (LLCs), and Virtual Communities. Click on the banners below to find more specific information on each individual community!
Any questions about these special interest communities can be directed to Shane Smith, Assistant Director of Residence Life at 207.581.1404 or by emailing shane.p.smith@maine.edu.
Any questions about the housing application can be directed to Housing Services at 207.581.4580 or by emailing um.housing@maine.edu.
Living learning communities
Living Learning Communities are specialized sub-communities located in the residence halls based on enrollment in a specific college or academic program. These LLCs will integrate students’ classroom experience and career aspirations with their experience living in the residence halls.
THEMED COMMUNITIES
Themed Communities are residential areas of campus where students are housed based on a shared interest, academic focus, or lifestyle. This a great opportunity to live among likeminded neighbors regardless of their major. Click here to learn more!
