Abstract
This essay uses Blimling and Whitt’s (1999) Principles of Good Practice to identify living- learning communities (LLCs) as a current best practice in student affairs. The authors draw examples from four institutions in Colorado and California, including the University of Colorado at Boulder, Colorado College, the University of California Santa Cruz, and Santa Clara Univer- sity. Research is used to highlight the benefits of living-learning communities. The essay concludes by summarizing common themes among living- learning communities, as well as differences and trends within these institutions. Through the analysis of these LLC models, practitioners in the field can use them as a framework in various settings and to better comprehend stu- dent learning in a LLC atmosphere.
