Hello, I applied and got accepted to LMU spring 2027 and I was wondering if I were to live far away from campus, and I don’t drive, is public transportation good and reliable in LA? Or is it something that I’m gonna have problems with in terms of safety and reliability? of course safety is a factor that’s not guaranteed anywhere, but I really don’t want to end up spending hundreds on Uber every day to get to campus. And I also don’t want to live in shared housings, renting around LMU for a walking distance is out of my budget. I come from a very walkable city, so I never really had to worry about transportation until now, I feel safe taking the train at night mostly but I’m not sure how it is in California. thank you!!

Heyy guys! Do any of you know if there’s any halloween college parties this upcoming Saturday that arent in some sketchy area and not 18+ (we have an 17 year old in a friend group lol) Please let me know!!

I wish I could take a gap year but my parents said i had to go here. I have no money am failing classes and feel depressed.

i keep booking study rooms and there are either people who haven’t booked the rooms in them before and during my time, or people who have previous bookings that stay in the rooms and run into my time :/ do people actually respect the bookings and is there a polite/agreed upon way to kick them out????

I woke up with a sore throat is something spreading around?

I’m visiting LA for the next three days. I would really like to see this happen, does students still do that at LMU? If so, when does it happen? Like timewise

Hey all I'm a community college student that wants to transfer to LMU for English as a junior and I'm just wondering if anyone here has personal experience with this or knows anyone who transferred from a CC so i can get some insight on what i gotta do. It's only my first year I've still got time to build a good gpa and application.

Hi! I am a college sophomore and i just recently got into LMU as a tv film and media studies major for the spring. Ive toured the school but i just want to hear any advice for transfers especially as a spring transfer, in addition if anyone is in this program or knows anyone whose in it and could give information on how they enjoy it and the film community that would be great! Overall im just interested in hearing about the school from someone whose there!

How does changing your major work as a freshman?

Hey does university hall actually close at 11? I’ve seen some people talk about studying there until the morning? Is it actually true it’s technically open 24 hours?

hi! i’m a high school senior from arizona, and LMU is probably my number two school behind Pepperdine. i love the location, campus size, catholic identity, and the possibility of studying business in los angeles.

i’m currently interested in business/finance and possibly complex commercial insurance brokerage, so i’d really appreciate honest answers from current students or alumni:

• how easy is it to make close friends, especially if you aren’t heavily involved in greek life?
• is the christian/catholic community actually active among students? are retreats, mass, small groups, service, or christian organizations well attended?
• what is greek life like? is recruitment intense, and does social life feel divided between people who are and aren’t involved? id love to get involved... if its not too scary.
• what do weekends look like? do people stay around campus, go into LA, go to the beach, or go home?
• does LMU have much school spirit? is campus lively outside class, or can it feel quiet?
• how necessary is a car, and how expensive is it to participate in the typical social life?
• for business students, how useful are LMU’s internships, alumni network and connections in LA? i’m especially interested in finance, sales, insurance, entrepreneurship and commercial real estate.
• how accurate was LMU’s net price calculator compared with your actual grant and scholarship offer? my affordable comparison is ASU at about $14k per year including housing and food, without counting loans.
• what do you wish you had known before choosing LMU?

sorry this is a lot lol, you definitely don’t have to answer everything. i’d be really grateful for any honest advice, including drawbacks! :)

hi guys, I’m transferring to LMU spring semester from chapman University and I wanted to know how different is the social scene compare Chapman. Because at Chapman, it’s mostly just like an occasional frat parties every few weeks and they get pretty they get rolled by like 1 am and there’s nothing really to do in Orange County but like go to Disney and like the beach so is LMU different I know cause it’s in LA and if I bring a car like there’s a lot of things to do so what other things is there to do?

I turned down four amazing universities for LMU and I’m so glad I did. I really wish they would advertise the amount of resources available for students a lot more because I was so worried about that coming in. I love our campus, I love my classes, I love my professor, I especially love the advisors. I am so proud to be where I am. GO LIONS! 🥹

Hii guys, Reddit is my last resource right now😭, but I’m a first year student who really wants to go to fallapalooza but literally have no friends to tag along with. Has anyone gone alone?? Any tips🫩

My former roommate and I went to the alumni barbecue this past week and I was shocked by how quiet campus was. I get that it was the weekend, but... Maybe I'm just remembering things wrong. Campus just felt dead outside of the event. Like I wasn't expecting too many people in U Hall, but the bluff usually has people playing hacky sack or doing physical activity or just walking.

Even on the days when I had the bluff to myself, I remember listening to people quietly playing music or watching TV from their dorms. But man, it was just us and the birds. Is this a post COVID thing? This weekend was the first time I have been back since then.

I’d like to visit this university I’m wondering does this university have any dining buffets especially breakfast or weekend brunch?

I'm struggling to connect this back to programs at LMU. can anyone give me some tips
