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 RPS housing application and make sure to answer the Collins-specific questions in your application. The priority deadline to apply for placement in an LLC or thematic community is April 15, 2023.

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@indiana.edu) for LLC application and placement.

Apply for housing at IU

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. If not, please send an email to housing@indiana.edu and leidavis@indiana.edu with your name and student ID number stating that Collins LLC is now your first preference and fill out the Collins LLC application.

If you are currently an IU student and want to join us at Collins, the process is a little different. Our deadline for placing returning IU students at Collins for 2023-2024 is April 1, 2023. If you missed 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. 

• If you live in RPS housing, you need to fill out a Collins LLC application and reach out to leidavis@indiana.edu for next steps. E-mail leidavis@indiana.edu if you need to fill out the Collins LLC application.
• If you don’t live on campus, you need to contact housing@indiana.edu to complete a full RPS housing application.
• Please note that students who already live in Collins will always have first priority when re-contracting spaces and there may be a limit on how many returning IU students we can re-contract each year.
