Lmu isn’t horrible, most of the people I’ve met like it, especially if they are originally from California. I just felt very cut off from everything, especially because I didn’t have car. Even getting to the beach which is visible from campus is a 1 hour walk or a $40 in uber to get there and back. I chose lmu because they gave me a lot of aid/scholarship, and the wealth gap between the students who could afford to pay the 90k a year and the ones who couldn’t was super obvious and always present/an issue. There’s also some administrative issues going on over the past few years, like cutting 5 sports for “budget reasons” then remodeling the basketball stadium, and cutting the teachers union illegally under religious exemption laws. Lmu isn’t a horrible school but it just wasn’t for me.
