Indiana State University’s Office of Residential Life offers many on-campus Living-Learning Communities (LLCs) where students can engage with others around a common academic or interest area. In these communities, students take a common course together, and attend workshops, guest-speaker events, and other activities as a group. Students live and work together in an on-campus residence building.
Your Sycamore experience is defined by the people you spend time with on campus. Find your community at Indiana State!

Jory Bales | Elementary Education | ’24“Indiana State is a smaller school, but there are faculty across campus and in the Honors College that are willing to work with all their students because of the smaller classes. There’s a lot on campus you may not see on a surface level, so it’s worth putting in the research to find your fit, and Indiana State has a fit for everyone.”
