PLP's Living-Learning Community got its start in 1998. It is the 2nd oldest living-learning community on campus.

Traditionally, PLP students live on the first floor of Schuylkill Hall. This residence hall was originally chosen to host the PLP students because of its proximity to Carver Hall, where the President's Office is located.

PLP members are both welcome and encouraged to live in the PLP Community all four years. Having upperclass PLP members around to ask questions of, is invaluable to our new members.

What real PLP members say...

"Motivated students should be given the opportunity to practice and develop their leadershp skills, and PLP provides that chance. This great organization prepares students for the future by allowing them to work as a team on campus and in the community. It is a great way to meet people, learn a lot, and give back. Throughout my first year of college and living on campus, I found the Presidential Leadership Program not only a great way to meet new people, but have good times, too. By being a member we are given the chance to participate n many activities including banquets, shows and games. It is also a great way to get involved with the community by providing services to different organizations such as Ronald McDonald House and Danville State. Furthermore, by being a member of this club, we are given the opportunity to live on the first floor of Schuylkill Hall, where I lived my first year. It is an excellent way to get to know PLP members and also appreciate the quiet hours in the dorm. As you will see, most of the students, especially in PLP, are more focused on their studies, and the floor tends to be less rowdy and better for getting word done. I am very glad to be living on this floor as a member of PLP and I can't wait for next year.

“The thought of living away from home was scary enough, not to mention living in the dorms with other people.  I was nervous about getting a good roommate and what it would be like to live with so many different people.  Opting to live on the PLP floor was the best decision I have made.  From the first day, my roommate, who is also in the PLP, and I had something in common, which helped ease the tension between us.  We have become best friends and it is helpful to live on the PLP floor since you have a closer bond with people, as you share common interests and activities.”

“The first floor is great since all PLP members become good friends.”
Chuck Kanian, Social Work, Class of 2005

“Living in the PLP wing is certainly an experience worth enjoying.  Not only does it provide the opportunity to live with some of the most motivated people at Bloomsburg, but it gives the chance to meet people who are not afraid to kick back, relax and just hang out.  There is a camaraderie here that seems to be lacking in the halls that some of my other friends live in.  For me, that was the most important part—the ease of making connections allowed for a much smoother transition into what might have been an overwhelming environment.”

“I think living on the PLP wing was a great experience for my first year. Everyone on the wing gets along really well. Everyone was really helpful in classes, and it was fun meeting new people. I definitely think people should jump on the opportunity to live on this wing.”
