Mayo College and Residential Learning Communities
Students in a residential learning community live on the same floor of a university residence hall with other students who are enrolled in the same Freshman Success Seminar blocked with one or two required university studies courses. Students participate in academic activities such as lectures, field trips, and symposia designed especially for their group. They also enjoy a variety of social events, concerts, sporting events, recreational events, and other activities with Mayo College students, faculty members, and other university students.
