Learning in Community
A UD education is a whole-person education: mind, body and spirit. One of the opportunities available to our students is to live in an Integrated Learning-Living Community (ILLC). Students with a shared interest, like "Social Justice" or "Business Ethics and Environmental Sustainability" live in a residence hall together and take classes together.
