I attended Loyola for two years and after my sophomore year i decided that this was not an institution for me. I was a natural science major (excellent major by the way) and the academic aspect of LMU was actually what kept me there for that second year. The staff are beyond approachable, half of them insist that you call them by their first name. however, there are considerable downsides. first the people. LMU is essentially a high school with a 500 million dollar endowment. there are infinite social cliques, most of the students are concerned with what is going on within their respective social circles, there are no greek houses therefore 1000% of parties occur off campus. there are a lot of privileged students enrolled therefore it is not unlikely to see a range rover or bmw. another downside is the entire population has a tendency to be fake. that is where the high school element comes into play. there is endless backstabbing, trash talking, and just juvenile behavior in general. most of the freshman class are kids who came from sheltered private schools and dont know how to act any different. but my largest disappointment in this institution is that 60 percent of the students are USC rejects. i actually chose LMU first and had no interest in SC so i was really upset to be in a crowd of people who didnt choose the school first. | Faculty Accessibility: A+, Useful Schoolwork: C |  | | |

I came out here specifically because when Compared to the University of Dayton, the engineering program was identical, but smaller. I wanted smaller. In addition, I wanted the LA experience. Reality is different. This university WILL lie to your face, and they WILL tell you they told you the truth. In addition, they WILL beat you down with unprofessional staff and faculty.
I have had professors teach about how bad America is instead of talking about the class, and when a student asked if they could stop, they continued, and told the student off while the professor was at it.
The last four resident directors that were hired are gay. They were all hired by a gay man. I have no problem against gay people, but this is a CATHOLIC Church... ACT LIKE IT!!!!!!!! (and it is just fishy that they are all incredibly unprofessional) I am sick of hearing that LMU has a diverse population. HOW MANY OUT OF STATE STUDENTS ARE THERE, 200 ????????? If you are from out of state you will find nothing as far as comunity. plenty of cliques, but no community. I have one year left, and I am running away from the university like the plague after that. I will never be able to say one thing that is good about the university except that I met my current gf there. | Surrounding City: A, Individual Value: F |  | | |

I have tried to type different responses to just how horrible the university is, but there is not enough room to fit it all in. Instead, I will put it in a list format:
-huge, incompetent administrative bureaucracy
-expensive w/ increasing costs and decreasing financial aid
-diversity agenda dictates student life for better or worse
-cars and property have been stolen frequently, campus security then in turn blames the students
-there is absolutely no parking on campus for residents or commuters -Sodexho food services hold monopoly over food on campus, expensive, disgusting, unhealthy -arrogant, wealthy, and close minded student body | Surrounding City: B, Education Quality: F |  | | |
