Abstract
Living learning communities (LLCs) add to the college student experience. The current study investigates academic and personal growth in a recreational sports–themed LLC intentionally built on student development theories. Surveys were administered to all students in the community at two time points across 2 years. Students in the program showed significant growth in leadership skills and grade point average.
