Living-Learning Communities

<p>Since I didn't get into Honors this year, I was wondering if I should join a living-learning community? Are they good and what exactly do they do? (does it mean you live in a separate section of the hall or what?) Also, I'm going pre-med, so is there any particular living-learning community that will benefit me during my undergrad years? (I saw that there was one that was research-oriented...maybe that?)</p>
