I went to LMU and then stayed on as a teaching fellow in the english dept. -
It was really nice. The professors are good, many are excellent and the school is small enough that they know you if you are in a class with them. i have even had them invite groups of students over for dinner. It is very close to the airport - but it does not affect your experience at all. The campus is safe and clean and the palm trees and views and weather are fabulous.
religion is a factor only in that 1)you have to take 2 religion courses - which to be honest, I dreaded, but i am glad i did as they were super interesting 2) some of the professors are priests and nuns. I only had two as profs in my 6 years there (I got a Masters degree).
the people are friendly but i don’t know much about the social life as I grew up 20 minutes from the school so did not live in the dorms and hung out with my childhood friends. I only became close friends with a few people but had lots of fun, friendly acquaintances on campus. It was an amazing and wonderful experience and a fantastic education.
