Hello,
I’m a class of 2021 student, and I am thinking about registering for a learning community at the University of Georgia, specifically the “Biomedical Research at UGA and Global Health Issues” community at Creswell. There’s not a lot of information out there about students’ personal experience with learning communities. I’ve only heard one thing about the biomedical research learning community, but I’m still not sure. I’m pursuing pre-medicine, and I was wondering if this learning community would be at all beneficial.
Are they really worth the effort? Were you in a Learning Community freshmen year? or did you know anyone who was in a learning community at UGA? What are the benefits and cons? Also, I’m a little hesitant since I would prefer to room at another dorm different from Creswell, but Creswell is where I would be if I joined a learning community. Help?
