LMU is a nice school, but it has some major flaws. At first, I thought it would be a nice and quiet university where the student really matters. However, I realized that it is actually mini "party school," even during COVID. There seemed to be parties every week (even before classes actually began). I was also felt like I didn't truly matter at the school. The actual professors were great and very helpful, but I felt that the administration valued money over everything else. Also, the cafeteria food was really bad, granted there were changes due to COVID. I still felt like they could have done a better job. The dorms were also disappointing. The upperclassmen dorms aren't too bad, but there is hardly any noise privacy. The underclassmen dorms aren't so bad either, it's just that they have communal bathrooms and small bedrooms. Overall, the school isn't bad, it's just not great.
The area and local scenery is beautiful and there are many local businesses that contribute to the community aspect. The courses are fairly simple and there are a few professors that really make this place feel like home. There are nice dorms and learning facilities. There are also some professors that are less understanding and some courses that are quite confusing. Some of the facilities are very worn and are falling apart. Most of the attention is focused toward athletics and almost everything else is overshadowed. It is a very strange dynamic where the few control the many. It definitely takes a bit of adjusting, but the few kind people you will meet outweigh the cons.
LMU is just average in my opinion. I am a current Sophomore at the university. The administration doesn't listen to students' opinions or concerns very well. They give out surveys at least twice a semester but I've never seen any concerns I raised being taken care of. The school also seems to care more about making a quick buck than ensuring their students have success and prosper in college. For example, during finals week at the end of the Fall 2018 semester students were told they had 3 days to pay their full Spring 2019 balance or they would be required to move out immediately following their last final exam. This created enormous stress on the students combined with their already heightened stresses from finals week. This policy was changed without alerting students which is just plain sketchy. Overall, I would look at other institutions nearby because I feel like LMU would rather make a quick buck than to see their students actually succeed in their degree and in life.
