Living-Learning Communities
Living-learning communities (LLCs) at Jacksonville State University are residential housing programs that incorporate themes and build community through common goals and learning. These communities are considered a high-impact practice that will provide supplemental academic, social, and personal support for students.

The International House Program began in 1946 with five students from France. Initially, the program focused on languages. Today, there are 40 members of the program - 20 American students and 20 international students. Each international student is from a different country and is roomed with an American student. Though emphasis is still placed on languages, greater emphasis is now placed on the overall aspects of cultural understanding. Truly, the International House Program provides "A Window to the World" for students at Jacksonville State University and the surrounding community.
