Abstract

Abstract The present literature review explores research on characteristics of effective Living Learning Communities as a means to inform the continued development of a new LLC at Cleveland State University, a large urban, Predominately White University (PWU). Research on retention and persistence is explored with respect to students’ strengths and developmental prerequisites, rather than having a hyper-focus on deficits in effort to inform the continued development of an LLC at Cleveland State University. The objective is to create an LLC that showcases a balanced approach, where students’ needs are addressed while helping them realize and harness their individual strengths for success in college and beyond. Research regarding the perspectives of students who attended LLCs at PWUs as well as short and long-term outcomes for students in terms of persistence, retention, GPA, and future projections, in order to develop a successful LLC, is reviewed.
