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.

Just wish the gym had more machines. More variety of equipment. Wish the pool was more accesible. More student centers near housing areas.

Who Does Not Love an Ocean View?

One of my favorite places on campus was LMU's new library. I would spend hours writing my thesis and studying for tests in the spacious study rooms with views of the ocean. The library was open my junior year and had everything a student could ever want. There were numerous computers, study rooms with cameras, white board walls, and comfortable chairs, and even a fire place to sit and read a book by.

The gym was a great place to go. It was a little small, but had all the necessary equipment and awesome classes like yoga, spin, and core training.

The campus is gorgeous. It is kept up constantly with green grass, palm trees, and beautiful flowers. The chapel sits quietly at the end of a large green field that you would constantly see students playing sports on, reading, or just relaxing.

Athletic Center

We have an AMAZING athletic center here. People come from off-campus to workout here and they love it! It is extremely large, many machines, and I only had to wait for a machine one time...it was after new years (probably new years resolutions). And it is included in your tuition!

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.
