All rising sophomores in the School of International Service are eligible to apply for the SIS: Interculturalist LLC for Academic Year 2022-2023.

There is no extra financial commitment for participating in Sophomore LLCs. Note that some optional co-curricular activities may ask a small fee for participation. 

On the AU Housing portal’s housing reapplication, select your Community Preference within the application for SIS: Interculturalist. This is used for determining where you will live and with whom you can create a roommate match. The reapplication for AY 22-23 opened February 1, 2022.

As a Sophomore LLC student, you should plan to attend multiple co-curricular activities and events throughout the semester. You should also be prepared to participate actively in the required course for the LLC. Finally, you are expected to respect the residential community standards set by your floor at all times. 

Co-curricular activities can range from social to academic to informational. Previous activities included watching a local play, visiting museums in DC, attending alumni speaker events, playing board games, and much more! 

Yes! Sophomore LLC students are encouraged to participate in student organizations, university athletics, community service projects, and other campus engagement opportunities. 

All Sophomore LLC students will live together on the same floor in McDowell Hall. If you require special housing accommodations, please contact Housing & Residence Life. Exceptions will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
