LMU's goal is to have every graduating student leave campus with a well rounded education. The requirements of a degree entail not only courses from your major, but courses that further develop your knowledge of life. I have learned things from Economics, Philosophy, History, even English classes that I have found more than useful outside of class. The professors give you the tools to be able to carry yourself strongly outside the classroom and into the real world.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I have found my true friends after coming to this school, so believe me when I say that LMU is more than just making friends with your peers. I had an emotional and somewhat traumatic event happen to me in the first semester of Freshman year, and I considered transferring. Yet, I found out that LMU's faculty is there for students in more ways than just helping them pass courses, they are there to be the shoulders to cry on when everything else seems hopeless. I would not have been able to pull through my first semester without the aid of certain professors as well as people within the parent-student relations department on campus. As a sophomore, I could not imagine going anywhere else.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
This school is more on the pricey side, but you learn so much more. For my major, Film Production, I was torn between being frugal and going to a UC, or attending LMU and paying twice as much. However, I have been exposed to more hands on experiences than I would have at any UC offering film. Also, professors allow you to express your mind openly and argue socratically during classes. The tuition is more than worth it for film kids. Also, the opportunities they have for networking within the film industry is phenomenal and mind blowing. If you want to get every penny's worth, then LMU is definitely the University a high school student should look at.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Make sure when you are thinking of applying to LMU, you consider your major or area in which you will be studying. Each college is different in terms of course requirements. For instance, Engineering is more demanding in terms of hours spent in labs than English, where the hours are spent writing papers. Choose the area you feel most passionately about. The rest will all come naturally.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Great for students who are liberal thinkers. Those who voice their opinions and like to be heard will definitely be more than welcomed here. We think outside the box and enjoy people from all walks of life. Those who want to make memorable experiences in college should apply.
