In 2001, more than 500 campuses had learning communities, including living-learning communities in which students with shared interests live and study together.

Along with themed housing focusing on foreign languages and substance-free living, there are also "living-learning communities" which have been formed for specific social, gender-related, or academic needs.

"The creation of living-learning communities is not just about enriching the life of the mind," he says.

Most of Rutgers's living-learning communities are open only to sophomores and upperclassmen, because freshmen are grouped together and do not know the lay of the campus.

At Cornell, with 19,700 students, administrators have built 10 living-learning communities, called "program houses," over the past 35 years.

Many residence halls are "living-learning communities", with themes such as "freshman", "social justice", "substance-free", etc.

The residential system has a number of "living-learning communities" where academic activities and residential life are combined.

Old Dominion University decided to provide a living-learning community for its LGBTQ students and their straight allies.
