The biggest benefit of being in a Learning Community is that it makes adjusting to college life so much easier and quicker. Learning Community students report greater satisfaction than other freshmen with learning their course material. This is a result of closer interaction with faculty, participating in peer study groups, and applying their learning to real world problems.
