Is this school worth it - Los Angeles problem

<p>Well from everything I hear this school has so much going for it. But a big issue is that this is a private school with a not-so national reputation in a very expensive city. Where do you go when you graduate?? Do most people live in the L.A. ghetto areas or something ... ??? I am dead serious. It seems like Disney Land for 4 years and then hell for the rest of your life ... but I could be dead wrong as I haven't talked to any graduates. Thanks.</p>

<p>Didn’t you post a thread saying Loyola Marymount was underrated?</p>

<p>The location of the school itself in L.A is divine. Sitting on a bluff, extremely close to LAX airport, and the campus is beautiful.</p>

<p>"It seems like Disney Land for 4 years and then hell for the rest of your life … " and I’m confused about your “ghetto” comment.</p>

<p>USC is in a much worse area, but much more well-respected than LMU… Anyway, it all depends on what you want to do at Loyola Marymount. I, for example, want to attend their Law school which has a very nice reputation (this is if I attend LMU). Loyola’s film and business schools are also very good. </p>

<p>I’m not an expert on Loyola, so I don’t want to say too much. But I do think you should give the school a chance.</p>

<p>Hi LMU10,</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply. At the time the school seemed wonderful but I have NO idea what happens to graduates. I didnt make a thread about it underrated, just a post. It looks like the school prepares its students well for life. </p>

<p>However, I am concerned about where graduates go after they graduate. NOT while in college. Based on the number of responses in this topic my eyebrow has risen even higher today.</p>

<p>Perhaps people get opportunities elsewhere and leave Los Angeles? It’s too expensive to live in a safe area with all the amenities in L.A. Not to mention, I’m not sure it has a reputation outside of this area. I’m thinking its suicide to spend money for a degree that can only be used in an “expensive or ghetto” place.</p>

<p>If anyone has any info please share.</p>

<p>maan i just wrote this huge paragraph to u and my connection went out so it all got erased : [ basically i said that barack obama went to occi, a school thats a lil better than lmu, and he got into harvard. i think it depends on how well U do. but thats kinda why i wanted to go to NYU…ppl get into good schools from there im sure cuz its like USC. if u find out the answer, PM me plz!</p>
