I am an international student from India and I am happy to tell you that Loyola Marymount University is a big school. I was worried about having to commute and live in LA but it didn't turn out to be a bad decision. The school has very good faculty members, with plenty of opportunities for internships and placements.

My favorite things about Loyola Marymount University are: its inclusive nature, friendly campus, on-campus housing and off-campus housing, good faculty and placements. It was also really helpful when I got the chance to ask a lot of questions about living expenses and the living situation because they were so informative. The food is also delicious.

I had a fantastic experience at Loyola Marymount University. It is a very friendly campus and the faculty are really helpful. It's also really affordable which was great considering I am a broke college student. They offer lots of on-campus housing options, off-campus housing, and food options as well.
