Loma Linda University is a leader in both care and academics. The staff goes above and beyond to help each student and fosters a culture of support and encouragement. If you are seeking medical education, LLU is the clear choice.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Before applying, do your homework; know the school. Have a plan, it may change and that is OK but they like people who have really thought their future out. If you are called for an interview, be real; not what you think they want you to be.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The course work requires exemplary time management. The content is not horribly difficult but there is a lot to learn in a short time (quarter system). LLU is not for you if you think hanging with friends is more important than staying up on reading or studying.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I have no personal experience in the dorms here or any other school but reports from classmates who dorm make it sound like the 'typical' experience.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
All the food at LLU is great! If you want meat you have to leave campus however, the food is so good meat is not missed. This is one of the few places where 'vegetarian' does not mean salad.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
It is as fun as you want it to be. As a nursing student, I do not have time for any extra curricular activities but I thoroughly enjoy each day at school. Your experience is what you make it.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
LLU is a wonderful Christian school. Just as the medical center's motto is To Make Man Whole, the instructional, support, and administrative staff make a clear efforts to provide us with education to treat the 'whole person' and not just the physical aspect of medicine.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Dedicated, disciplined, self-starter.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
I'm not sure about the rest of the school but the School of Nursing has 'Sigma Theta Tau' which is the honor society you can be invited into as a senior.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The staff are great, they are always friendly, prompt, and take safety very seriously. I especially enjoy watching the K-9 training sessions.
