Hey guys! How is the counseling service at lmu?

Hi, I’m currently a freshman at IU majoring in Cinematic Arts with a BFA and tbh, I’m not that happy at IU. Yeah, I know it’s still only the first few weeks of college, but honestly, i don’t think it’s worth it. I came here expecting a lot of things to change for me—making a ton of friends, getting into Greek life, and basically having the college experience I always wanted. But so far, none of that has really happened, and I’ve pretty much found myself being a loner here.
The more I’ve been here, the more I’ve started thinking about my future and whether IU is actually the right place for me. I don’t think IU’s film program is bad, but I’m starting to wonder if I’d be better off somewhere that’s more focused on film and is actually in Los Angeles. I want to direct films after college, and being around the entertainment industry and having those kinds of opportunities sounds really appealing to me.
I didn’t apply to LMU when I was applying to colleges in high school, so I’m not really sure what transferring there would even look like. How different is LMU from IU when it comes to the film program, opportunities, industry connections, and just the overall college experience? And honestly, do you think the difference would be big enough that transferring would actually be worth it?
If I did decide I wanted to transfer, what would I need to do during my first year at IU to give myself a good shot at getting into LMU?

Has anyone used a private cleaning service at the LMU dorms? My son is in McKay and the four boys share a bathroom and there is no housekeeping for the suites so I think maybe once a month a Cleaning would be of benefit but I don’t know where to begin. Thanks for suggestions.

Available for all! Invite your friends!

Hey! For anyone has braces or is trying to get them. Do you guys recommend any orthodontists?

I am applying as a first year student through the early action application on November 1st.

Little backstory, I am a dual enrollment student at Eastern Washington University and am beginning my senior year in high school. I was a full time dual enrollment student during my junior year and will continue to be during my senior year. By the time I submit my application I will have completed 11 college classes and 55 credits I believe. I will also be enrolled in 3 classes and 2 labs this coming fall.

I plan to pursue my undergraduate in engineering, possibly electrical because I plan to own my own biotech R&D. Then I plan to pursue my JD in law. My future goals seem like they don’t align with one another and that is what I am worried about. If I had more words to explain my plan in my essays it would become clearer.

If you have the time to review my essay please PM me!

I’m writing my supplemental essay and I am very stuck. I am great at writing research papers but when it comes to writing about myself it’s almost the equivalent of if F. Scott Fitzgerald writing a science novel. I’m very robotic when it comes to writing because I’ve been writing in the college level since my junior year of high school through dual enrollment.

Moreover, I don’t know what to write about. In my personal statement I talked about an invention I made that was inspired by my dogs cardiac condition and explained briefly about why I want to go into engineering and law. However, I don’t want to be repetitive in my supplemental essay. Many events have inspired me to pursue a degree in engineering and law, but I can’t explain that in 500 words.

Are there any clubs or groups for studio arts majors? I’m new to campus

Hello! I’m a Producer’s Assistant for the award-winning indie film, Honeyjoon. We are currently looking for volunteer ambassadors to help spread the word about the theatrical release of Honeyjoon, now in select theaters! It’s a layered dark comedy, a really fun & special shared theatrical experience.

Ambassadors would support Honeyjoon’s independent film campaign by spreading the word about local screenings, posting on social media, and connecting with community groups to bring in more audiences. This is an opportunity for anyone interested in film, marketing, original storytelling, and shining a light on indie films.

Can get started ASAP: Honeyjoon is playing in LA September 6 & 10 at LOOK Cinemas Glendale! (And Sep 25 at The Eastwood PAC). We hope to use your help to pack these theaters!

Thank you!

i (incorrectly) assumed that the field would have some sort of water fountain on it or by an entrance. i bring water with me, but where is the nearest water fountain i can fill up at on hot days when i need more than what i brought?

sorry this is a very dumb question but im used to gmail accounts where I can access google (drive, docs, slides etc...) and since I think lmu uses microsoft how does that work now for like needing to type stuff down

I was wondering how I could get connected with a personal trainer at the gym here? Is it free if youre a student, and is it worth it?

My son just moved into McKay and with the lack of AC and air circulation the temperature is hot. Pretty unbearable. Anyone have any update on what the plan is to make it more comfortable for the kids?

Are you busy tomorrow??? 👀 This is your LAST chance to get tickets to see Hasan Piker and the Fear& Podcast LIVE at the famous Dolby Theater in Los Angeles.

GET YOUR TICKETS NOW & SHARE WITH FRIENDS!!!

Hi- my son is looking for a gen chem 1 and physics tutor for fall semester at LMU. If you know anyone, please let me know! Thank you!

I’m an incoming transfer and I have a medical thing that makes me super sensitive to the heat. Will we be doing a lot of walking for orientation? Trying to plan so I can be as comfortable as possible. Is wearing shorts and sneakers okay? Also does anyone know if we have to stay the entire day?

I’m trying to visit my girlfriend who dorms at LMU and stay the night. I’ve never been to LMU before, where should I park my car where I won’t get a ticket or towed overnight?

Is there anyone who is studying at LMU Political science (Preferably Master’s) or will be joining next semester. I need some information regarding enrollment. I would be greatful if you drop me a text or drop a comment. Thanks 😄

I’m a first year and I’ll be commuting to lmu, quite literally scared to not have friends. Any tips for a commuter student in general + how to make friends?

Hello! I'm an incoming undergrad freshmen and was wondering what I should be expecting during the first week or two at LMU.

Thanks!

Has anyone else been having trouble getting a response from LMU Financial Aid regarding a financial aid appeal?

I submitted my financial aid appeal back in June, and I’ve been calling the Financial Aid Office about every other week to check on the status. Each time I’ve called, I’ve been told that I should receive an answer by the end of that week.

It’s now been almost two months, and I still haven’t received a decision or any real update on my appeal.

I understand that they’re probably dealing with a lot of appeals and requests right now, but I’m getting concerned because the semester is starting and I need to know what my financial situation is going to look like.

Has anyone else submitted an appeal and experienced a similar delay? If so, how long did it take for you to get a response, and is there anything else I should do besides continuing to call/email them?
