ENGINEERING VILLAGE @ THE COMMONS

About the Community

Engineering Village @ The Commons is an Academic Residential Experience District for engineering students. This residential program is designed to be an extension to 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
Recognize how academic and professional careers are interrelated
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 Living in the Engineering Village

Through your participation in this community, you will meet other engineering students with interests similar to yours, allowing you to develop a strong peer network.
You will receive assistance to help you achieve academic excellence through programs, such as peer tutoring located right in the residence halls.
In addition, you will 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.

Eligibility Requirements

To participate in the Engineering Village @ The Commons, students must: 1) have applied for and received admission to the College of Engineering or 2) have a major within the College of Engineering. Please note the following about our community:

The General Engineering LLC is restricted to engineering students. To reside within the community, you and your roommate must be enrolled in the College of Engineering.
The Engineering Honors Community of Scholars (ECOS) LLC is restricted to engineering honors students who complete the EH application by the March 1 priority deadline. To reside within the community, you and your roommate must be admitted to the College of Engineering’s Craig and Galen Brown Engineering Honors (EH) Program.
If an engineering honors student wants to room with an engineering student who is NOT in the EH Program, they have the option to “relocate” into the General Engineering LLC in April (prior to the room assignment process).

Buildings

The Engineering Village spans across three buildings in the Commons: Mosher, Aston, and Krueger. Currently, the Engineering Honors Community of Scholars (ECOS) LLC is located in Mosher and the General Engineering LLC is located in Mosher and Aston.

Roommates

During a specific period of time, students selected for this program will be able to choose a roommate(s) from other students selected for the same Living Learning Community. Students may post profiles within myHousing Portal and view responses by other students to their roommate questionnaire (i.e., sleep schedule, noise, cleanliness, etc.). Following this specific time period, students will be assigned a room with their requested roommate within the block of rooms designated for the Living Learning Community.
