WHAT OTHER STUDENTS ARE SAYING

Instead of complaints such as “Why do I have to take this course anyway?” or “But… I don’t know anybody in my classes…” or “This subject doesn’t make sense because I don’t care about it,” here’s what actual Shorter students have shared about their Learning Community Experience:

“I have a higher level of comfort to voice my opinion. I know my classmates so well that I’m not intimidated.” “You connect with the professors on a 1-on-1 basis. You see their passion for the subject, which helps.” “My mind isn’t as scattered because the theme makes the outside world fit into the classroom assignments.” "I get to learn about something that really interests me. It makes the classes fit together for me.”

“Being in a Learning Community makes university more engaging and less overwhelming.”

“You share the workload and the stress with your classmates – you bond.”

“I pay better attention because I like the topic.”
