<p>I got into the Civicus program. Can anyone explain what it really is and what you do in it?</p>
<p>I’m not sure if you’ve seen the website or not: [CIVICUS</a> Living and Learning Program](<a href=“http://www.civicus.umd.edu/home.htm]CIVICUS”>http://www.civicus.umd.edu/home.htm)</p>
<p>I don’t really know much first-hand about the program, but the friends I know in it say that they love the program, and everyone in the program tends to bond and form a community. </p>
<p>Also, since it is a living and learning program… Civicus lives in Somerset. This is one of the nicer dorms on campus: “All the rooms in Somerset are air conditioned (!) and each student has his/her own internet, phone, and cable jack. Most of the rooms are doubles with a few triples and quads scattered throughout the building. There are also some singles for returning students. In addition, there is a computer lab and laundry facility located on the ground floor. Each floor also has one or two small kitchenettes with a microwave and a sink.”</p>
<p>Any other updates here, I’ve talked to a couple people and would love to hear from someone who is currently in the program. This looks like a perfect fit for me!</p>
