Residential Neighborhoods
Elon’s eight residential neighborhoods are dynamic communities where students live, learn, and engage with faculty and staff in meaningful ways. Each neighborhood has its own traditions, learning opportunities, and spaces designed to foster belonging and connection. With a cluster of residences and common spaces that form intimate communities of students (and faculty and staff) connected by a common set of themes and shared interactions, each neighborhood helps you thrive both in and out of the classroom.

Living-Learning Communities (LLC)
More than 20 living-learning communities connect students with the same passion, interest or academic focus who live in the same residential area and share meaningful intellectual and social experiences. Residentially linked courses in the first-year Core Curriculum help students integrate their in-class and out-of-class experiences and enable students to study together more easily, perform group work and have a class-based cohort in their own neighborhood.
