Hello,
I have applied for the global perspectives community as a 1st yr and I was wondering if you can tell me more about it.
Is this like a community where people hang out and do things together? Or do people live together in the same residence?

And also, is there any restriction in terms of the people they accept, i.e. how many people they accept? And if they do accept me, is it autonomic or do I get to think about it for a while (Like the ONE programs where I get to choose whether to participate even after they accept me)?

thank you and best regards<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n

it’s everything you just said and more. i like the way you put it: “a community where people hang out and do things together.” that makes it sound really chill and fun. all aspects of university should be like that, don’t you think lectures should be a community where people hang out and do things together. exams should be! come to think of it, that probably wouldn’t help with the learning part of university…<\/p>\n

you will be living in the same residence with your Living Learning Community. you will also be putting on events with them<\/a>. Living Learning is like the residence experience plus. think of it as a really productive, yearlong sleepover. with less chips. maybe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

they say that “[a]ll efforts will be made to assign you to your choice of community<\/a>,” so no, i don’t think it’s the kind of thing where applicants have to duke it out and they only accept a certain percentage of individuals.<\/p>\n

if you are placed in a Living Learning Community, then you’re given a room that’s part of that Community and that’s basically it. you can reject the offer of room i guess, but then it’s up to you to find some place else to live.<\/p>\n

cheers,<\/p>\n
