Learning
As a member of the Global Exchange Living Learning Community your academic journey will be enhanced through the development of global competence, cultural exchange and self awareness. Students will participate in a one credit hour course comprised of various cultural outings, discussions of currently worldly events and interactive dialog.

The GELLC is designed for both international and domestic students.  This living learning community is ideal for domestic students interested in studying abroad, traveling and learning more about world cultures. International students will benefit as they live with a domestic student and learn more about the American culture, easing their transition to life at UT. This community encourages intercultural understanding by attempting to place students in rooms with students from other countries.

Community
Global Exchange Living Learning Community members choose to live in a community rooted in cultural diversity. Members will have the opportunity to cross cultural divides and develop meaningful and lasting relationships. International and domestic students will live together and share their college experience. The Global Exchange Living Learning Community allows members to be integrated into the campus community and offers students new friendships, exciting outings, academic and social support.
