NP. I am going to ignore the derailing PPs who are obviously insane. I think we accidentally summoned the obsessed Occidental hater.

Anyhow, Californian here. I’ve known multiple alumni and current students. They all love the school, and seem to have more of a devotion to the school than I see with (say) the UCs or places like Pomona. It reminds me a bit of the University of Notre Dame on a smaller scale in that regard. The alumni loyalty is extremely strong.

[b]It’s a sporty place and a lot of kids play some form of sport. [/b]It also has good ties to LA business. Good school for someone who is interested in the business of entertainment, for instance. In some ways I think LMU is quintessential SoCal: gorgeous campus and location, kids who have a beach outdoorsy vibe, lots of ties to LA and secondarily SoCal business, kids with families in the entertainment business. It’s religious but not Pepperdine religious. The academics are solid. Tends to have a wealthier student body but also gives good aid. When I was a kid in SoCal there was sort of this USC-LMU thing going where the girls went to LMU and the boys went to USC. Those days are long gone but I think some of that vibe remains.

New poster here
They recently cut (starting next fall) about 7 of their sports-swimming, cross country, I think crew?(not 100% of that one) for both men and women.
A friend of mine has a kid there whose sport was cut.[/quote]
