Loyola Marymount University - Campus Strictness

College Prowler Take

In spite of LMU’s squeaky-clean Catholic school image, the students tend to get wild at times. Drinking, cheating, and speeding are all offenses with a various range of penalties. Speeding or other traffic violations result in a heavy fine, but more serious offenses like alcohol abuse and dishonesty land the offender in Judicial Affairs. Cheating is especially serious at LMU; the school employs a plagiarism investigator, and most professors at least threaten to use it.

At times, the campus seems overly strict. Public Safety officers are not lenient, so getting caught violating any of the University’s numerous policies results in varying degrees of trouble. Students who end up in the Judicial Affairs system face fines, suspension, or expulsion. Some serious offenses include underage drinking, drug possession, drug use, cheating, reckless driving, and assault. Of these offenses, underage drinking and drug possession are the most common. Lesser offenses include phone or Internet harassment, minor theft, speeding, parking violations, and the general term “suspicious activity.” Incidents involving violent crime are almost nonexistent. Due to the crackdown on alcohol and drug abuse on campus, students should exercise caution and common sense. Public Safety and Judicial Affairs are not known for being lenient.

Public Safety is really strict... Public Safety is really strict about drinking and drug use. I know of a few students who have been expelled or suspended for drug use in the dorms. Public Safety seems to always know about parties on campus and is very eager to break them up and stop any underage drinking. For this reason, most larger parties are held at off-campus student housing. 12345 Campus Strictness: March 25, 2009 Report

Our campus newspaper is always... Our campus newspaper is always reporting on drug and underage drinking busts, so I'd assume they're pretty strict. 12345 Campus Strictness: March 25, 2009 Report

My biggest problem is parking... 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. 12345 Campus Strictness Report

I always hear about one student... I always hear about one student who got expelled for smoking pot, but I never really hear what happens to students who get caught drinking. I’m guessing they have a ‘three strikes and you’re out’ policy, but I’m not sure. 12345 Campus Strictness Report
