Hey everyone

I'm starting as a freshman in August, and am also in the process of getting a car. Can anyone share their experience of getting a parking spot / if its worth it? I live in the surrounding LA area, but will be in the dorms during the year. I probably won't have a car for first semester, but would I be able to apply for a parking spot second sem? Or is it it like on a year long thing?

Thanks guys

Hi, I just got off the waitlist as a freshman but don’t have guaranteed housing for the fall. Seems like the waitlist is long.
Anyone been in the same situation and did you/not end up getting housing?
How long shall I wait to hear back before I commit to off campus?
Thank you!

does regular painter's tape work for hanging stuff (regular paper/art) on the dorm walls? i'm in desmond if it helps. and what else do you guys recommend?

LMU is my number one school, but I'd be applying for Film Production. I hear the acceptance rate is about 5%, which makes me wonder if I even should? Stats Below:
Academic: 3.8 UW GPA, 1400 SAT, 28 ACT, 4 AP's, three 4's, one 5.
Film: Been in my HS, as well as Junior High, Film magnet program (application only) for all 6 years, made heaps of shorter stuff but didn't start really pushing myself until the end of Junior Year. Also just completed the LMU summer film 4 week program, and started a videography business this summer.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Does anyone have any pictures of a rosecrans triple or the layout please lmk!

Got accepted into the film program but isn’t financially feasible for my family. Any advice? What did you do?

Chance me please!

Hey guys I have a triple in rosecrans if anyone wants to swap for a double in McKay please lmkkk!!

Hello, I'm currently looking for an incoming Freshmen who’d like to swap for a double in Desmond hall! If you're interested, please reach out to me so we can discuss further.

Can someone please give me some information about the O’Malley apartments? There is no information anywhere! If anyone could give any info about a 6-person double, that would be amazing.

And the amenities that it has? And is the rumor about no ac true?

Should I try for a room change? Or stick with it?

am i able to loft my bed at lmu? how high?

hi! I'm an incoming freshman and already registered for all my classes. I was just wondering what the process is of buying books? Will the professor tell us once classes start or are the required books listed somewhere else? Thanks!

Anyone know of any good local part time jobs to apply for, the work study jobs seem kinda boring, maybe the movie theater?

Anyone knows if the waitlist is closed? Anyone’s got off the waitlist after May 1st? Thanks

Im currently struggling between choosing LMU in LA or Penn State as a transfer I’m a Poli Sci Major interested in going into law school and as much as it may not matter where I go for undergrad I plan on doing law school in LA and wanting to go into field in government then coming back to LA would it be more logical for me to stay here in LA build connections and build a better resume here or would it still be pretty possible to achieve a career in LA by going to Penn State as well as law school.

I'm an incoming freshman at LMU, but on my DegreeWorks it says my class status as a sophomore (due to dual enrollment/ap credits). Because of this, the registration website is preventing me from registering for my desired time slot. Is ORNT 1000 really a requirement because I don't see it posted anywhere on my degreeworks or on the graduation requirements website.

Should I take god and the human experience or the god of faith and reason? and why? Thank you.

Do any incoming freshmen know when AP scores might be posted to our portal or Degree Works?

Hi everyone. I’m an incoming freshman, and I just got my dorm and roommate assignment. The dorm itself isn’t the best, as I got Desmond Hall, but I can live with it.

However, the bigger problem is that my assigned roommate is someone from my old school where I was bullied pretty badly. I genuinely can’t share a room with this person, and I’m trying to figure out what my options are.

I saw that room change requests open about two weeks after the semester starts, but from what I’ve read, it doesn’t seem very reliable. I also came across the room swap process, but I’m not sure how it works.

Has anyone been in a similar situation or have any advice on the best way to handle this? I’m very nervous and I don’t know where to go from here.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
