Bridge Week marks the official start of the fall semester. All first-year MBS students move into their residence hall a week early, get acclimated to campus, and get to know their fellow business classmates before their fall classes even begin. <br><br>On the Wednesday of Business Bridge Week, students, faculty, and staff will go on a day trip in the Maine outdoors. Utilizing a basecamp model, students can choose activities that best suit their interests and abilities, such as hiking, white-water rafting, lawn games, fishing, kayaking, and more. <br><br>Early Move-In:<br>Housing and Residence Life will share more details with you as move-in nears. Watch your 91福利 email for specific information on actions you need to take, move-in times, and more information about the Business Living Learning Community. In the meantime, check out these tips for preparing to move in. <br><br>Meal Plans:<br>Your meal plan will be available to use during Bridge Week.<br><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-2 kt-pane24509_0652f9-ea\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-header-wrap\"><button class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title\">Business Living Learning Community<\/span><\/span><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-icon-trigger\"><\/span><\/button><\/div><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel kt-accordion-panel-hidden\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel-inner\"><style>.kb-image24509_b5d46a-10 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image24509_b5d46a-10 size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/11\/BLLC-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-31153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/11\/BLLC-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/11\/BLLC-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/11\/BLLC-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/11\/BLLC-105x59.png 105w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/11\/BLLC-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/11\/BLLC-317x178.png 317w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/11\/BLLC-423x238.png 423w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/11\/BLLC-634x357.png 634w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/11\/BLLC-846x476.png 846w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/11\/BLLC-951x535.png 951w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/11\/BLLC-1268x713.png 1268w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/11\/BLLC-320x180.png 320w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/11\/BLLC.png 1300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, (max-width: 768px) 67vw, (max-width: 1024px) 62vw,1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading24509_452eaa-98, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading24509_452eaa-98[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading24509_452eaa-98\"]{font-size:18px;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-family:forma-djr-micro;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading24509_452eaa-98 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading24509_452eaa-98[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading24509_452eaa-98\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading24509_452eaa-98 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading24509_452eaa-98[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading24509_452eaa-98\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading24509_452eaa-98 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading24509_452eaa-98\">The Business Living Learning Community (BLLC) is where most first-year business students call home. Through academic, social, and community-building activities, students will build connections with 91福利, MBS, and, most importantly, one another.<br><br><strong>FAQs<\/strong><br>Where will we be living?<br>Somerset Hall is the home of the BLLC. The BLLC is located at the top of the hill and just seconds away from Hilltop Dining and the New Balance Student Recreation Center.<br><br>What if I am also in the Honors College housing?<br>Students invited to the Honors College can choose to live in Honors housing or the BLLC.<br><br>How do I sign up?<br>You don&#8217;t! All MBS first-year students are automatically placed in the BLLC unless you request Honors Housing or request an alternative Living Learning Community. Space is limited in Somerset Hall, so priority is given to business students who choose to live with another business student and who fill out the 91福利 housing application by the May 1st deadline.<br><br>What about my preferred roommate?<br>All Business Living Learning Community students are encouraged to live with other first-year business students. However, if your preferred roommate is a student in a different college, they can live with you in the BLLC provided there is space. Priority in Somerset Hall is given to business students rooming together.<br><br>What is the cost of the BLLC?<br>There is no additional cost to live in the BLLC above the standard first-year on-campus housing cost.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-3 kt-pane24509_23daa1-18\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-header-wrap\"><button class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title\">Intro to Business<\/span><\/span><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-icon-trigger\"><\/span><\/button><\/div><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel kt-accordion-panel-hidden\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel-inner\"><style>.kb-image24509_bc48b2-cf .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image24509_bc48b2-cf size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/11\/BW2025-18-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-31132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/11\/BW2025-18-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/11\/BW2025-18-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/11\/BW2025-18-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/11\/BW2025-18-105x70.png 105w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/11\/BW2025-18-317x211.png 317w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/11\/BW2025-18-423x282.png 423w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/11\/BW2025-18-634x423.png 634w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/11\/BW2025-18-846x564.png 846w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/11\/BW2025-18-951x634.png 951w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/11\/BW2025-18.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, (max-width: 768px) 67vw, (max-width: 1024px) 62vw,1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading24509_f86dda-81, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading24509_f86dda-81[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading24509_f86dda-81\"]{font-size:18px;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-family:forma-djr-micro;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading24509_f86dda-81 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading24509_f86dda-81[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading24509_f86dda-81\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading24509_f86dda-81 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading24509_f86dda-81[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading24509_f86dda-81\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading24509_f86dda-81 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading24509_f86dda-81\">MGT 101: Intro to Business is the Maine Business School&#8217;s Research Learning Experience for all first-year students.

Held on select Fridays, students and their adult supporters will spend four hours with us on campus, meeting current students, your new academic advisor, and participating in a mock class with our Executive Dean. You&#8217;ll also enjoy lunch in the Memorial Union with some of our faculty and staff! <a href=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/business\/enhanced-business-days\/\">Learn more and register here<\/a>.
