Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Facilities at LMU fall into two categories: new and old. Buildings like University Hall, Burns Rec Center, Hannon Library, and dorms like Rains and McCarthy feature bright, modern architecture with lots of natural light. On the other side of the coin are the older buildings like Seaver, St. Roberts, and dorms like McKay and Whelan. These buildings have uninspired, bland architecture, but the interior matches the same level of quality and cleanliness found in the newer buildings. All classrooms are large and comfortable. They feature a projection system, computer, Internet, and cable. To keep the rooms nice, signs forbid students from eating and drinking in the classrooms, but the rules are rarely enforced. Overall, the entire campus is extremely clean. The University employs a large staff to maintain the plants and clean the classrooms. The maintenance staff even cleans the sidewalks and dusts the escalators.

The campus eyesore is West Hall, a small set of portable classrooms near Leavey and Xavier. These rooms are hot and dark, and the bathrooms in the adjacent trailer are miniscule. Students complain frequently about this building as it is often neglected. Among the big, beautiful buildings on campus, West Hall simply does not fit in.

Above Average

Facilities are clean and impeccably maintained. What's nice is that the campus has a refreshing mix of architectural styles, with the newer buildings designed to be very sleek and contemporary, which doesn't make the campus look like it's stuck in the past. However, LMU needs a true campus center.

Accessibility

The facilities at LMU are great. The library is brand new and has great technology and enough computers and space to accommodate. Additionally there as a student you have access to other places on campus with computers such as UHALL which is open 24 hours.

Library

The library at LMU is very up-to-date. It has the latest technology, all the books I need for research, the staff is very nice and helpful, and I never have had a problem when I needed to study or write a paper last minute.

Favorite Things To Do

The LMU campus offers something for everyone. The gym at Burns Rec Center features modern equipment, including treadmills with individual cable televisions and a wide range of weight machines. The center also offers table tennis, swimming, exercise classes, tennis, and basketball. In the mood for caffeine? LMU features three coffee shops with a variety of espresso, cappuccino, and tea to satisfy the caffeine craving. Students also can join an intramural sport on Hannon Field before dinner and then grab a late-night dessert at the Lion’s Den before dark. The Living Room features poetry readings, music, and comedy from talented students. For something really unique, view a mummified kitten from Egypt or a Buddah statue from Afganistan at the campus archeology museum.

LMU’s School of Film and Television ensures that good movies are shown frequently. The school also welcomes many celebrity guest speakers and private screenings. LMU also features prominent musicians in intimate concert settings, while theatre arts students perform controversial plays like The Vagina Monologues to a crowded auditorium. Aside from its many speakers and forums, LMU also offers plenty of open space for Frisbee, lacrosse, or just laying out in the sun. Convo Hour (Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12 p.m.–1:30 p.m.) often features barbeques, music, and guest speakers. Free food always draws a large crowd.
