SATS FAQ

Learning Communities

At Purdue, a Learning Community is either:

  • A group of 20-30 first-year students who take two or three of the same courses together;
  • A group of first-year students who share a common academic interest and live in the same residence hall; or,
  • A group of first-year students who take part in both of these activities.

Through learning communities, first-year students have a great way to make friends and learn the ropes at Purdue. Research results here and at programs across the United States show that students who take part in a learning community earn higher grades, make friends faster, and graduate at higher or faster rates than students who don't participate.
