I have been able to learn so much from just one year at LMU. Since LMU is a private catholic university all students do have to take a philosophy and theology class, which at first I thought were going to be horrible but actually they were really interesting and not at all what I would have expected. All the teachers here are extremely helpful and always there if you need help, even if they don't have office hours that day.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
LMU was my dream school and it has lived up to every expectation I had. Of course the transition to living on a college campus took a little time to get use to but the key is to just get involved. There is so much to do on campus like Greek life, service organizations, sports, and a ton of different clubs.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Private Catholic University= extremely high tuition rates but I feel like if you put in the effort in your classes and your social life you will get back everything you are paying for. One of the best things about LMU is that it is such a small campus that it's really hard to get lost and the biggest class I have had so far is 25 people and next semester I'm taking a class with 6 people. I love the small class sizes because then you are able to make a more personally connection with your professors which is great when you need a letter of recommendation.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Don't focus too much on the social aspect of college at first because it becomes really easy for you to get lost in your class work and with the high price tag on this college most students definitely try to get out in 4 years, if not sooner, to save money.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Focused students who have a pretty good idea of what they want to major in, otherwise it could be a big waste of money for you.
