How popular are living learning communities at Dartmouth. Thinking about applying to the transitions one as an incoming freshman but still a little hesitant because there are little reviews. Can anyone list pros/cons?
Hey–I’m sorry for the late response and I know housing was due the 8th, but just wanted to say–I signed up for the Thriving Through Transitions LLC and I hope I get a spot in it. I emailed the LLC office and they basically said that the T3 and Humanities LLCs were all-freshmen and kind of a sort of freshmen residential hall within an LLC setting. Originally I was just going to go for a regular resid hall, but I figured since I’m getting extra support/attention in an LLC within an all-frosh floor and a group of incoming '20s I ended up choosing that. Also, McLaughlin (which houses LLC) has AMAZING dorms. 
In total the McLaughlin cluster has about 150 freshmen, so I think it’s enough to have a lot of new people to bond with in my dorm to kinda get the freshmen resid hall experience. just my 2c.
