As you consider IU housing, we think you’ll love one learning community in particular: the Luddy LLC. Located in Teter Quad, the Luddy LLC will help you start strong at IU and take advantage of special opportunities like a trip to Silicon Valley.
The Luddy Living Learning Center, a residential community for first-year techies

The Luddy LLC will help you transition to college, succeed academically, develop your career skills, connect with people at Luddy and with employers, and make friends who will support and challenge you throughout your life.
My floor was very close. It gives you such a great group to lean on when you are struggling, and we had a great time bonding outside of homework.
