Looking for a great community to live in next year? Want to register for housing early? Consider joining a Residential Learning Community! RLCs offer a community environment where students share passions and academic interests. Students have the opportunity to participate in community programs and trips and work with RLC Associates (Faculty/Staff who have expertise in a particular area) for mentorship and support. RLC Applications open March 1st and close on March 30th.

Special Note:
Due to lack of student interest, we are putting La Casa on hold for the 2018-2019 academic year. We hope to reopen the community for 2019-2020! Please contact Jacqueline Winslow, jkwinslow@ithaca.edu with questions or for suggestions about alternative communities to La Casa.
