Congratulations!
Congratulations on your acceptance to Seattle University. We are the premier independent university of the Northwest, rich in Jesuit tradition and heritage, located in a diverse world-class city. Living on campus is an integral part of the educational experience. Students who live on campus often become more involved in activities and programs, achieve greater academic success and have greater satisfaction with their overall university experience. Living on campus gives you convenient access to campus resources, the city and the beautiful Puget Sound region. Many alumni say that some of their fondest college memories are about friends they made and activities they were involved in while living in the residence halls. While engaging your academic pursuits, living on campus enables you to become more involved in student life and provides excellent opportunities for you to learn and grow outside of the classroom. The residence hall environment is a vital piece of Seattle Universitys campus life. We hope this information will help you prepare for on-campus living at Seattle University. We look forward to assisting you with your housing assignment as well as your transition to campus. You can expect to be notified of your housing in early August. If you have any additional questions or need clarification, please visit our website at www.seattleu.edu/housing or contact us at: (206) 296-6305 or housing@seattleu.edu Once again, welcome and we look forward to your arrival this fall. Sincerely,

Every first year student (commuter and residential) and many second year students will have the opportunity to participate in a learning community. Students will be able to connect to other students with similar interests, take Core courses together, participate in fun and exciting activities, and explore what it means to be a Seattle U Redhawk! Our LCs are listed below, but for more information visit the Learning Community website at www.seattleu.edu/llcs.
Civic Engagement
Students who want to participate in the political process, serve their communities, and explore shared questions about the role of government, political access, and empowerment.
Living in a learning community is part of the undergraduate experience. It gives you a chance to meet people with similar interests and engage in great programs. Janie Sacco, senior, history and humanities for teaching major

Sojourn
Xavier Hall offers a smaller, more tightly-knit community that I thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend to students. Sam Knowles, junior philosophy major who works in the Housing and Residence Life office at Seattle University
For students who want to explore what brings residents the greatest sense of purpose in their lives, and how to turn passions into professions. For more information visit www.seattleu.edu/housing.
Seeing so much campus engagement among my fellow residents in the Millie Bown Russell Leadership Learning Community, it was encouraging to seek becoming engaged myself. Also, in the French and Spanish Learning Community, its great to see people passionate about language and culture and it encourages me to further pursue Italian and to go abroad to experience different cultures. Erin Lane, junior, psychology major
