<p>is LMU comparable to any of the top UCs like UCSB, UCD, and UCI? or even any other good public/ private schools?</p>
<p>I think it really depends on what you’re going to LMU for. The LMU Film Department is phenomenal; more so than departments for film at UCSB, UCD, or UCI. However, the other schools have other programs that are probably far better than Loyola’s. I really think it all is dependent on the program.</p>
<p>Pepperdine, USD, Santa Clara, St Mary’s</p>
<p>Plus the top UCs are UCLA and UCB after that there is a dropoff</p>
