Interested in finding people who are like you to become your friends? Want to be successful in your coursework at Minnesota State University? A Learning Community is for you! A Learning Community is a small group of students who share similar academic or personal interests. You'll usually take one or more classes together, connect with a peer mentor, and join in fun activities outside of class. While some students live in the same residence hall, you can live anywhere and still be part of a Learning Community! Join a community that supports your academic success and offers opportunities to connect through social activities, study sessions, and career-oriented events.
