Being from a big high school, it's great to still have a small class size class in college. The average class size of all my classes is about 20. Professors know each student by name and even take attendance which can be a nuisance if you skip class a lot but on the other hand can help you out by forcing you to not skip class and stay on top of your school work. Professors encourage office hours and it is a great opportunity to be able to get to know them on a personal basis.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
While the party scene is not big here, the student body is constantly having events on campus that will suit everyones needs. However, LMU is a type of school that if you seek it, you will find it. If you are a party animal or interested in an occasional party or two, then there is greek life which would satisfy everyones needs. Greek Life is a pretty big part of the social scene but if you are more reserved, there is always the option of Service Organizations. While LMU is a small private school, LMU offers a little bit of everything, and everyone can find their own niche here.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
There are many well-to-do type of people that either are students or associates with the school, and as a student you will be able to network with them. The school is constantly having different types of speakers for all sorts of majors come on campus and have meet and greets and speeches to talk about their profession. Furthermore, there are many workshops, especially for freshman, that can help you build your resume, develop better study skills, and even offer free tutoring/essay revisions in the The Learning Center. If you need help in any way all the staff and professors are available, and are willing to go out of your way to help you succeed.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you qualify for financial aid check out the Student Worker Program. Go to LMU's website and type in Student Worker Program and you can get all the information there. While this program gets confused with work study, the Student Worker Program is completely different. Work study only offers $2,200 to $3,500 to work for while in college, however, the Student Worker Program offers an unlimited amount, which means you can make anywhere between $20,000-$32,000 while in college. While it is a lot of hard work, being in this program has allowed me to come to a great university and not have any debts/loans to pay off after college.
