Campus Living

For students wishing to attend Central Washington University, The Bridges Project offers recommendations to those required to live their first year on campus.

Living Learning Communities (LLCs) at CWU bridge students' academic interests with their residence hall living experience. Students with common academic interests live together in the same residence hall and develop personal and academic relationships with other students and faculty from a simliar field of study.

Students also participate in out-of-classroom enrichment activities that support their academic pursuits.
