<p>What time? Son has classes at 8 or 9 every day.</p>
<p>You should also see my kid’s Facebook pictures. He doesn’t take them, other kids do. All kinds of kids, and none with boots. Well, the pictures don’t show feet. He does have more footwear than my D though. t’s possible he attracts a particular crowd, but we like it.</p>
<p>Same for my D, at a different school, which many describe as self-segregated.</p>
<p>I think they have goals beyond pictures</p>

<p>You might be on to something, daughter as a Freshman last year accumulated multiple pairs of fashionable? boots, half of which are home in her closet this year. Yes there is a strong component of privilege (look at the tuition), but there is also lots of cultural diversity, look at Shrinkrap’s links. I know daughter stays up late studying, but the boot cult observation is interesting.</p>
<p>There are also lots of girls! 58 percent. Is that sort of average?</p>
<p>I was there around 12-1 in the afternoon. I did notice an amazing amount of diversity in race, just like Shrinkrap’s link. But hispanic, white, black, asian (didn’t actually notice many asian kids), the girls were all wearing boots. I don’t generally notice that sort of thing, but since I was mostly looking ahead and down, as to not fall on my face, I noticed it. It would be interesting to see what the girls say about that. Do they feel pressure to conform in dress? Is it a SoCal thing? Because generally kids don’t seem to feel the need to wear what the others are wearing in college. Or do they? We’ve visited alot of pricey colleges where probably there’s plenty of kids from wealthy families. And I never noticed the boots, not even in the NE.</p>
<p>My son says he notices what he calls “tiger shirts”; shirts that look like they have been ripped by tigers.</p>
<p>I’d hope that if the girls were wearing them, there were another shirt underneath! I didn’t see anyone dressed in a risque fashion at all. The boys seemed far more casual and with more variance in clothing.</p>
<p>How present is the church at LMU? Would a non religious artsy girl fit in there?</p>
<p>As far as I know, my son has not been to church yet. He is a sophmoe, and had “chapel” every week, and tok a religion class every year, from K through 12.</p>
<p>D is a junior, definitely not religious, and has been very happy with the culture of LMU. There is no pressure to be religious, let alone catholic, that I know of.</p>
<p>Hi guys! Sorry to crash the thread, but do I have even the slightest chance of gaining admission?</p>

<p>Hope so! Good luck.</p>
<p>@Shrinkrap thank you! :)</p>
