Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Unlike other Los Angeles universities, LMU does not need the security measures of a military base to keep students safe. There are two entrances: the main entrance off Lincoln Boulevard and a second entrance at Loyola Boulevard. A security booth stands at the gated front entrance to the campus, but the gate remains open during the day. After 11 p.m. you must swipe your student ID card to get in. The back entrance off of Loyola Boulevard offers access only to students and faculty with ID cards, so visitors have to go through the main entrance. The light security at the entrances allows people from the surrounding neighborhoods to walk on to campus, but occasionally it also lets in a few shady characters. However, public safety’s police-styles SUVs patrol the campus constantly. If a serious problem develops, they call the LAPD.

Traffic regulations on campus are strict, so one of the public safety officers’ main duties is to issue parking tickets. They frequently respond to reports of underage drinking or minor thefts, but students cause virtually all of these incidents. There are also occasional incidents of harassment between students, but only a few cases of assault in the University’s history. The flaw in LMU security is in the gated entrances. Anyone can enter the campus on foot, and usually, guards at the security booth do not stop cars that do not have a University parking permit. But overall, students do not worry about physical safety because serious or violent crime is almost non-existent

Very Safe

Like most medium sized universities, there are some safety issues, but mostly limited to petty theft, underage drinking or drug use. Compared to other large universities whose campuses are open to the public, LMU definitely is one of the safest schools in the area.

P-Safe

Public Safety does their best to protect the students on campus. The officers are available 24/7 even for students who do not live on campus. The only thing that aggravates a few students is that even though it is known throughout the entire university that there is inadequate parking, they still strictly give out parking tickets.

Facts

Did You Know?

On April 26, 2004, construction crews nearby unearthed two World War II-era explosive casings, forcing LMU to evacuate half of the campus. The school canceled classes for the day, and LMU students responded in characteristic fashion: campus bands gave an impromptu concert, and students put aside their books to play Frisbee as the helicopters hovered overhead.

In Fall 2004, a series of incidents involving vandalism and racial slurs rocked the LMU campus. Students responded by hosting a protest march and anti-discrimination rally.
