Are you ready to join our diverse and welcoming Collins community? If so, you must apply through IU Housing. Housing applications for new students open in February 2025.
If you are interested in Collins LLC, we recommend making sure your housing application (including your Collins LLC-specific questions) is fully complete and submitted by May 5, 2025.
If you are new to IU and have decided that Collins is a good fit for you, select Collins Living-Learning Center as your number one preference on your IU Housing application and make sure to answer the Collins LLC-specific questions in your application. The priority deadline to apply for placement at Collins LLC is May 5, though we may consider applications that come in after that date if we still have spaces available.
If you are a transfer student, you will not be able to select LLC or thematic communities on your Housing application. If you are interested in Collins LLC, please make note in the comment section of your application and reach out to us directly (leidavis@iu.edu) for LLC application and placement.
If you have already applied for housing and would like to change your preference to Collins LLC, you may still be able to log in to your application and update your preferences. Please refer to the IU Housing website for deadlines regarding application changes. If you are not able to update your application in the IU Housing system, please send an email to housing@iu.edu and leidavis@iu.edu with your name and student ID number stating that Collins LLC is now your first preference and, if you haven’t already done so, request to fill out the Collins LLC application.
If you are currently an IU student and want to join us at Collins LLC, the process is a little different. Our deadline for placing returning IU students at Collins for 2025-2026 is February 1, 2025. If you miss this deadline and are still interested in Collins, please reach out to us in August/September after the fall semester has started to see if placement is possible.
