Loyola Marymount University is known for its involvement in a vast amount of extracurriular activities and community service. LMU prides itself in not only helping out people throughout campus but extending a hand to those in need. Walking throughout campus you can see clubs on campus playing with children, helping those with disabilities, and thinking of others before themselves. Students are able to help others while gaining education to take out into the world once they graduate. LMU is making a better world one student at a time by outlining the values of life in their mission statement.

Being located in the heart of the Los Angeles County, LMU is witness to a wide variety of social-justice issues that many of our LMU Lions are passionately dedicated to combat—LMU is best known for its devotion, commitment, and promise to social-justice, it is the reason why many of us chose LMU: to be men and women for others.

School of Film

Marisa

My school is known as the beautiful Catholic university on "the bluff". On one side you can see the Pacific Ocean and on the other you see the bustling city of Los Angeles. LMU is known for it's amazing basketball team in the late 1980s when star player Hank Gathers burst on the college basketball scene. During a tournament game he collapsed and died but LMU rallied and finished with a successful season. At LMU we attack obstcles with vigor and that's why I love it.

My school is best known for social justice, which is apart of the mission statement. There are many different organizations and programs that allow students to participate in improving communities in need. Many students go into communities in Los Angeles to mentor children, assist the elderly, rescue animals, and give back to the homeless. Other students travel abroad on service trips to help communities in poverty. I personally attend a program called Feed the Hungry every week, making bag lunches to serve the homeless and day laborers. Service is imperative because many communities need our help and we become selfless.

All of these outlets are what make Loyola Marymount University one of the most exciting and fulfilling places to be.

Loyola Marymount University is commonly known for its Film and Production Programming. Personally, I am a Psycholoy and English double major, but many of the Film Majors I am acquainted with are constantly busy, but some of the projects and achievements I have seen been done already are amazing for mere freshmen work.

Garret

Loyola has a wonderful Liberal Arts program. I am a screen writer and they have a very strong developing Film program. I am fortunate to have been excepted into this program as it is quite selective due to the small enrollment of the department. One will also see that Loyola has an excellant Business and Law program. The campus is very close to the beach and has been voted overall the "HAPPIEST COLLEGE" by Princton review.
