Is LMU considered a good school?

I wouldn’t worry about the name of the school that much. Alumni relations are pretty good, and there is a career and development services that will help you find jobs. The psych dept. pre-med track are both great. The academic program is about educating the entire person, LMU is a very service oriented and you’ll probably experience that idea tied into all your classes.

Teacher student relationships are generally good, but every prof. has a different style. Some are more well-liked than others. You should look at rate my professors . com and look at the psych teachers ratings. You’ll be in small classes, you’ll never have to be in a huge lecture hall class where the teachers TA’s run the class. In fact, about half of your class will have less than 20 people in it. High quality professors, small class sizes, and friendly and students are consistently some of LMU’s strengths. “LMU’s strength is in the strong relationship between students and professors. Most professors respond to students’ questions within hours. Students are more than just a social security number; professors usually learn their students’ names after the first class, and a few take photos of their students. Also, bad professors stand out, and word travels fast around campus about whom to avoid.”

There is also an academic resource center where students and professors offer tutoring in basically every subject. You can schedule appointments for tutoring and you can even become a paid tutor at some point if that’s your type of thing.

I would definitely suggest going to preview day and asking these questions if you can.
