<p>Hi I'm a senior DA to Kelly and accepted to the honors program at Indiana University. I was thinking about living in the northwest part of campus but I wasn't sure which LLC I should choose. What are the benefits to living in the different LLCs?</p>
<p>Not sure if money is an issue for you but the Honors program in the Northwest neighborhood for next year will be in Briscoe which is the most expensive housing.</p>
<p>With Honors you get a diversity in majors and thus people that you would not get in the KLLC. That is not to say that the people in the KLLC are not diverse but they all have the same major. KLLC has many networking opportunities that you would not get else where as well as classes. The HRC (Honors LLC) requires you take a few honors classes from a long list (like 3 honors classes in 4 semesters) but there are many classes in most subjects. Its really all about fit with you. Both programs are AMAZING I’ve lived and been an RA for the HRC and been in RA for McNutt as well, so I have pretty good knowledge of both. If you have any more questions just keep firing away.</p>
<p>mrlinkcc…I have been accepted to the honors program but unfortunately I cant afford the housing. I am going to either live in Wright Co-op or the residence scholars program. Can you please give me your opinions on these programs (pro/cons).</p>
<p>Is McNutt party central even in the KLLC? Will I be able to study in my dorm room if I lived there?<br>
Also will I be missing out on a lot of networking opportunities if I don’t live in KLLC? Would this set me back in bschool?</p>
<p>I’d say the KLLC is definitely livelier than the average dorm on campus, but also tamer than the rest of McNutt. Whether or not you can study in the dorm depends on how quiet you need it. It’s not like there is screaming 24/7, but if you’re the type of person who would be studying on the silent floor of the library, you probably wouldn’t be able to study in any dorm on campus. </p>
<p>I assume you mean networking with companies, but don’t underestimate the value of the student network you would establish living in the KLLC. Succeeding in Kelley has a lot to do with who you know, and I don’t know what I would do without the academic network the KLLC has provided me.</p>

<p>I would say that between the two I would go with either. They both sound pretty good, but I would give the edge to the Residence Scholars program because of the minimum GPA and SAT requirement. I would see what dorm that would be in and compare it to Wright for a final decision but you can’t lose with either in my opinion.</p>

<p>I would say you would be fine in the KLLC with being able to study. Certainly being in McNutt raises the social level but you are not without places to study in center or a block away at Kelley. It really is not bad when you need to study because everyone else you live with has the exact same classes and the exact same tests at the exact same time. Thus when you need to study your floor also needs to study so it isn’t that bad.</p>
<p>So you are saying that there is a good social scene at McNutt? Do many of the students join Greek life?</p>
<p>McNutt is the most social of all the dorms at IU. It also has the highest percentage of students who go greek.</p>
<p>To Mrlinkcc</p>
<p>I’m a DA to Kelley and I’m considering housing at the Kelley LLC. Are there any programs set up to help freshman find roommates? Either through the LLC or for just general housing? Also, which dorms would you suggest to put as my back-ups in case I don’t get into or I don’t want to be in the LLC?</p>
<p>IU is currently developing an app for finding roommates for incoming freshmen that should be rolled out soon, so that should help you find a roommate regardless of where you choose. If you find that the LLC is not for you then you can live at McNutt on a regular or academic floor and still have a majority of business students on your floor. If McNutt is not your thing Foster is right across the street and Briscoe (which is much more money) is just north of McNutt and has an Honors floor. If you find that the Northwest Neighborhood isn’t your thing than Teter followed by Eigenmann are also good choices, with academic floors and regular floors as well.</p>
<p>PEOPLE IN THE LLC DO NOT ALL HAVE THE SAME MAJOR. There are apparel merchandising, graphic design, informatics, undecided and even an english major on my floor. The biggest lie someone can tell you is saying the LLC is not diverse. I have never met a wider range of people in my life. And regardless of whether or not we all had the same major, we all have different interests. There is a professional dancer, a phenomenal artist, a badass guitarist on my floor.
And the LLC has quiet hours, which do get enforced quite strictly on my floor. And if you want to study there is a lounge (which I wouldn’t suggest) I would say go to the library, Wells or SPEA.
And if you don’t get into the LLC I would suggest living in Briscoe, it’s extremely nice.</p>
<p>Looking into housing now. Preadmit into Kelley. Advantage/disadvantage for Kelley student to live in LLC vs. McNutt? Other suggestions? Won’t be able to visit until March. OOS as well. Thanks!</p>
<p>kurz, it is a major advantage for you if you live in the kllc. there are so many opportunities that we get because we live in the kllc.</p>
<p>mrlinkcc,</p>
<p>My son is interested in the Kelley LLC but is in an “over represented” group so the competition is pretty tough for the spots. (Out of State Direct Admit Male). If he doesn’t get in to the KLLC, what can you tell us about an academic floor in NW? I believe it would be in Mc Nutt. Would you expect a lot of business majors who may want to study on the floor vs having to always go elsewhere to study? Is there any sense of community on the academic floors? Do they tend to have social students who are serious about school but also want to do fun things?</p>
<p>In my experience academic floors are really no different from normal floors. Often times people don’t even know they are on one until somebody tells them. That said, since they will have a new location next year perhaps it will be different. So far though, there really is no difference between an academic floor and a regular floor</p>
<p>Where are the new locations of the academic floors? I was told that the NW academic floor is in McNutt - not sure about Central but it was not in Teter. So would you say that academic floors do not have extra activities or a stronger sense of community than regular floors? I am wondering what the extra $100 charge is for. Is it your experience that the extended quiet hours are enforced?</p>
<p>I called housing and they would not tell me. Really dont get why it is a such a big secret.</p>
<p>Traditionally the academic floors have been in McNutt. Right now they are attempting to relocate them else where. Outside of McNutt I have seen quiet hours enforced to different degrees on academic floors. At McNutt quiet hours enforcement (for academic floors) is less stringent until 10pm. The problem is academic communities quiet hours start at 7pm, which for an 18 year old is fairly early. The extra $100 is for programming. While most floors in McNutt (outside the KLLC) have $100 dollars per semester the academic floors have thousands of dollars, so they go on trips or have more lavish programs.</p>
