Learning to Learn's mission is to assist first-generation, financially needy, and academically challenged college students with an array of services that will allow them to successfully matriculate through Boston College. These services include, but are not limited to, academic assistance, individual & group counseling, financial aid advisement and cultural enrichment programs, and a course in learning theory.

Additionally, LTL acts as a liaison for students between all offices and departments at the college to aid students as they navigate through the system. These services support students in their effort to "unlock" their potential in the academic arena that will allow for greater success.
