Loyola Marymount University Students Tell It Like It Is
Thinking about Loyola Marymount? Well, you better know the 405, 5, 10, 90, 210, 101, 110, and 14 if you're going to live in the Westside and network with people in the Industry. And watch out for Paris Hilton's reckless driving on your way to the Viper Room.
Los Angeles is definitely not a place where you want to be out of the loop. So why would you even take the chance of going to Loyola Marymount University without getting in the know ASAP?
The College Prowler Loyola Marymount guide will prevent most, if not all, embarrassment arising from not knowing what to wear, where to eat, where to live, or what to do.

Have you thought about rushing a sorority or fraternity? You know, the scene is different at every school. Here's what it's like at Loyola Marymount.
'During sorority and fraternity recruitment, it seems as though the whole campus is in a Greek organization, but that is far from the truth. It does not dominate the social scene like at USC. About less than half of the student body is in a Greek organization. For the most part, Greek organizations at LMU do not follow the stereotypical view of Greek life that is portrayed in movies. From what I heard, it is pretty mellow.'
Ever hear of a bus party?
One of the most popular ways to party at LMU is to hop on a chartered bus with a bunch of other LMU students. These bus parties take students to LA clubs for a night of dancing.
With all of this partying, what about the campus rules?
'My biggest problem is parking tickets. You can get a ticket for anything here, even not parking completely in the lines. Alcohol and drug policies are really strict.'
Is that enough? Have you bought the book yet? There's so much more to a school than a brochure or a campus visit can tell you. The College Prowler guidebook to Loyola Marymount can make you an insider before you ever set foot on campus!
Find out if LMU has something for you, straight from the students' mouths. Visiting campus isn't enough.

The College Prowler Process
While writing our series of college guides, we felt it was critical that our content was unbiased and unaffiliated with any college or university. By hiring current students as authors, we strive to create college guides that truly represent each campus. Our guides cover both the good and the bad, and whether survey responses point to recurring trends or varying opinions, these sentiments are directly and proportionally expressed through our guides.
From the very beginning, student writers gather the most up-to-date stats, facts, and inside information on their colleges. They fill each section with student quotes and summarize the findings in editorial reviews. In addition, each school receives a collection of letter grades (A through F) that reflect student opinion. Once a guide is written, additional college students serve as editors and check for accuracy even more extensively. This same process is applied to all of the 258 colleges and universities College Prowler currently covers. Each guide is the result of endless student contributions, hundreds of pages of research and writing, and countless hours of hard work. All of this has led to the creation of a student information network that stretches across the nation. It’s no easy accomplishment, but it’s the reason that our guides are such a great resource.
