Midland Lutheran Admissions - Learning Communities

Learning Community Application

Thank you for your interest in applying for the Learning Community. Due to a limited number of available spaces, the application process is selective. We encourage students who wish to take full advantage of the residential college experience and of Midland’s caring faculty and robust academic support resources to apply.

Learning Community applications will be accepted starting March 27 and will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Applicants will be notified of their status via U.S. Mail. Should an applicant not be placed in the Learning Community, this same application will be used to determine the housing assignment. Housing assignment information will be mailed separately by July 1.

Please complete the form below and attach your original, complete and thoughtful responses to the following reflective questions.

Describe your philosophy of learning.
What qualities or attributes would you be able to contribute to the Learning Community?
What kinds of topics/issues do you like to discuss/debate with your friends?

What do you hope to gain from being involved in the Learning Community?

Roommate Preferences

Comfort in living style is critical to students' well-being and academic success. Midland Lutheran College makes every attempt to assign roommates with similar styles so please be honest in your response to the following questions. Please note: You must complete this section even if you have a roommate in mind.

Do you smoke?

Will you accept a roommate that smokes?

(Although the residence halls are smoke free, having a roommate who smokes may affect your living environment.)

I have more energy:

Are you a day or night person?

When do you usually go to bed?

How do you describe your room?

If you plan to participate in intercollegiate athletics please specify the sport(s) here.

We value the diversity of our students and believe that interaction with people of diverse backgrounds enhances the learning experience. Having a roommate with a different cultural or ethnic background is a unique opportunity to learn about others and yourself.

Would you value this opportunity?
