ENGINEERING VILLAGE @ THE COMMONS
Engineering Village @ The Commons is an Academic Residential Experience District for engineering students. This residential program is designed to be an extension of the classroom by offering academic, professional, and social support to engineering students who live in the community.
The Engineering Village @ The Commons provides an atmosphere that encourages engineering students to strive for academic excellence, develop a strong, cohesive support system that will serve them throughout their academic career, learn to recognize how academic and professional careers are interrelated, and discover what it means to be part of a community of scholars
Within the Engineering Village @ The Commons, the College of Engineering offers two living learning communities (LLCs): the General Engineering LLC and the Engineering Honors Community of Scholars (ECOS) LLC.
Benefits of the Engineering Village @ The Commons LLC
- Meet other engineering students with interests similar to yours, allowing you to develop a strong peer network.
- Receive assistance to help you achieve academic excellence through programs, guest speakers, and events.
- Have access to upper-level engineering students living in the halls who serve as peer mentors to help you navigate the university and assist you in becoming a part of a community of scholars.

To participate in the Engineering Village @ The Commons Living Learning Community, students must:
- Have applied for and received admission to the College of Engineering
