Learning Communities

Most communities have a set of residence hall rooms specifically designated for them. To sign up for one of these rooms, you must apply and be accepted into the community. To ensure your chance to live in the community, please complete the following steps:

After you have submitted your request to join a community, you will receive an email from the community director approving your request. When it’s time for you to select your room in the next phase, you will be able to view and select rooms within the designated community space in the community’s residence hall. For example, if you choose to join the Music Community, you will select a room in Kreischer Hall.

This is referred to as a pull-in. Some communities allow pull-ins, meaning you can choose to live with someone from the community or choose a roommate outside of the community. If the community does not allow pull-ins, you must select a roommate who is a member of the community. You can reach out to the learning community director to confirm if pull-ins are allowed in their community.

How to set-up a roomate pull-in

After you confirm that your Learning Community allows roommate pull-ins, here are the steps to get your roommate assigned to your room:

1. Log in to your housing portal within MyBGSU during your assigned learning community room selection time and select a room showing "Number of vacancies: 2"
2. Your roommate pull-in will then need to log in the same way you did, and "Confirm" the room you selected room

Please note: You will only be able to select a room in the residence hall your learning community is assigned to.

If you have questions, please contact the Office of Student Housing.
