Residential Learning Communities

Tulane Residential Learning Communities (RLCs) are immersive spaces within a residence hall where students live together to learn about and participate in activities centered around a theme. Students within each RLC live on a designated floor(s) with other RLC students who are interested in a deeper exploration of this theme and also take an associated TIDES Course together. In these collaborative spaces, students are encouraged to exchange, challenge, question, and grow – both academically and socially.
