A Special Interest Community (SIC) is a housing space occupied by a group of individuals dedicated to some cause. SICs are organized by the Office of Residential Programs. SICs can be found in various housing locations not available in room selection, such as Wallach, River, East Campus, and some recently renovated brownstones.

SICs are often perceived as a back door to better housing. However, SICs are bound by stringent contractual obligations, careful selection, and greater attention from administrators; expectations are better enforced than those of the LLC.
