I am not sure what the "Living & Learning Villages" are, how do I get more information?

"Living and Learning Villages" have been established at many universities nationwide and provide an opportunity for students to get involved within their campus community. Each year TTU establishes a new "Village" focused around a common theme. Students living on or off campus are encouraged to participate.

I am a transfer student, but I am starting TTU in the Fall semester...

If you are an incoming Transfer student starting TTU in the Fall semester then you may sign up for Transfer Orientation once your admission to the University is complete.
