Living Learning Community for the Arts
A vibrant residential program at Adelphi University designed for residential students who are passionate about the arts.
Living Learning Community for the Arts students live together in a dedicated space where shared interests in visual art, dance, music, theater and creative writing foster an immersive, supportive environment. Through shared courses, interdisciplinary programming and faculty mentorship, students access New York City’s cultural scene, build connections in the world of the arts, and grow artistically, academically and professionally.
Program highlights:
- Create and collaborate with fellow artists in a supportive community housed in a shared dorm space, with a Resident Assistant especially chosen to curate events around the engaging opportunities throughout the New York metropolitan area.
- A living space equipped with what you need to create, practice or rehearse, with monthly themed dinners and fun community events.
- Attend exclusive performances and exhibitions with discounted tickets—both on campus and in New York City—through relationships with arts organizations like the New York Theater Workshop, the Alvin Ailey Dance Company and The Met.
- Connect and build friendships by living alongside peers with shared interests, forging a network of future creative partners and industry collaborators.
- A dedicated first-year seminar that will support academic and student life integration.
- Engage with faculty mentors in workshops and special gatherings.
- Build your professional skills through arts-based service projects—like helping to organize Adelphi Arts, a one-day spring festival celebrating the arts—and skills and resume-building workshops.
