Living Learning Communities
Living Learning Communities at Farmington offer you a unique, inclusive, residential experience with the added benefit of living among peers who share similar goals and interests. As an active member of a Living Learning Community, you’ll get an opportunity to build partnerships with other students and staff while engaging in purposeful, interactive programs and events.
