Living Learning Communities (LLCs)

Texas A&M University provides residential experiences commonly referred to as Living Learning Communities (LLCs). Review the Living Learning Communities available in Aggieland.

Student Employment Opportunities

Employment opportunities for students are plentiful in the Department of Residence Life. In addition to offering numerous full-time and professional positions, the department is one of the largest employers of students. On-campus employment offers the convenience of working for employers who are flexible with students’ class schedules, walking between work and class, and, (in many areas) the same vacations as the University (winter break, spring break, summer, etc.).

Academic Events

Explore some of the academic initiative events that occur regularly in our on-campus residences.

Dinner with a Prof

Dinner with a Prof is a monthly event in which on-campus residents have the opportunity to engage in dialogue with faculty outside of the classroom. Set in front of the fireplace in Hullabaloo Hall on the first Tuesday of the month during the academic year, faculty are invited to share their field of study, their personal journey, or life advice through engaging conversation with students. Students who attend enjoy a delicious meal, meet other students, and learn that faculty members are real people, too, who can and want to be approached! Watch your TAMU email for monthly invitations, or visit our Event Registration System to see the upcoming month’s event.

Dessert with a Dean

Dessert with a Dean, an ongoing event sponsored by Residence Life, welcomes a different Dean, Associate Dean, or Director from across campus to speak with students on a variety of topics ranging from passion areas, to life stories, to making a difference in the world. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to interact with Deans outside their offices or classrooms, and enjoy a free, delicious dessert spread!

Study Spectacular

Study Spectacular occurs at the end of each semester from 8am on Reading Day through 5:00pm on the last day of finals. Large meeting rooms are open 24/7 during this time frame in order to provide our on-campus residents with a quiet environment that is conducive to their studying. Some rooms that are opened include the Multipurpose Rooms in Hullabaloo Hall, the Commons, the White Creek Activity Center, and the White Creek Community Center, as well as the Gardens CLC (Community Learning Center). Free coffee and snacks are provided throughout the event to keep you fueled for finals.

Residential Tutors will be available in Hullabaloo 105 on the evening of Reading Day.
