<p>While LMU is in LA, when I visited it seemed a lot more conservative than the rest of the city and other colleges. Can someone confirm or deny?</p>
<p>Bit of both. Strong social justice community, Jesuits in general might be what is considered the leftist wing of the Church. =) The student profile is a mixed back truly though. You have those that come for the Jesuit model of education, the service and the social justice and the education of the whole person. Those people get involved in activities like service organizations or other such opportunities. And you have some really wealthy, really conservative folks. So you get a mixed bag.</p>
<p>Oh.
Thanks</p>
<p>Could you elaborate a bit more? I’m a liberal Democrat so I’m curious about the political views down at LMU :)</p>
<p>There’s a spot for you here. It’s a diverse campus, again, the words social justice are built into the mission. Check out this article, these are the kind of discussions you will have if you join the social justice crowd. [Los</a> Angeles Loyolan - Making the poor a priority](<a href=“http://www.laloyolan.com/opinion/making-the-poor-a-priority-1.2243770]Los”>http://www.laloyolan.com/opinion/making-the-poor-a-priority-1.2243770)</p>
<p>I for one am deeply involved in that crowd. There are many students that are apathetic or lean right, but I think the loudest and strongest voice is that of folks that want to walk in solidarity with the poor, protect our environment, etc… =)</p>
