Benefits of joining a learning community at UW-Madison?

<p>So, I'm thinking of living in Witte at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, however I've seen that there is a multicultural learning community there that I could join and was wondering if there are any benefits to joining it, or should I just apply to live in Witte without joining the community? I don't want to regret joining or not joining, and so any opinions or advice is greatly appreciated!</p>
