Make your home at LMU! Inside • Housing Options • Life as a Resident • How to Apply
Your housing options Traditional Halls There’s nothing like living in one of our traditional residence halls to help you make friends quickly and adjust to living away from home. In these buildings, two students share a room, and the residents on the floor share one or more bathrooms. The other community spaces like study rooms, lounges and laundry rooms are also great places to interact with others and make new friends. Since this setting is so conducive to the first year adjustment process, our traditional residence halls are home to predominantly first-year students.
Suite-Style Halls Our suite-style residence halls also offer a great social environment but with the added privacy that comes with having your own bathroom. In a suite, two students share a room which is connected by a bathroom to another two-student room; four suitemates share a bathroom. The suite-style halls offer a great balance of community and privacy and are home to primarily second-year students. Residents enjoy close connections with suitemates and continue to meet new friends in the community lounges and study rooms.
Apartments Our fully-furnished apartments come complete with full kitchens and bathrooms, making them ideal for convenient and independent living. Most of our apartments are two-bedroom, one-bath units designed to accommodate four students; two students live in each bedroom. The apartments are home to mainly upper-division students who enjoy being able to cook their own meals, have gatherings in their living rooms and prepare for life after LMU.
Theme and Living Learning Communities We have several themed and living communities designed to help residents explore areas of common interest through sponsored events, social activities, and off-campus trips. By living in one of these communities, you can pursue your educational goals in a social context. Whether you are interested in outdoor adventure or exploring Los Angeles, we offer a variety of communities to suit your passions. Residents in a living learning community support student academic and social success, connect the in-the-classroom and the out-of-the-classroom experience, make the transition to college easier, and increase student involvement at LMU. For more information please check out the Student Housing Office website.

We’re about convenience. “ Being a campus resident has been key to keeping up my busy student schedule. I can walk to classes from my room or run to the library to get work done.” LIVING ON CAMPUS GIVES YOU THE CONVENIENCE of being close to classes and other campus amenities, but that’s just the beginning. Within each housing facility, you will find study rooms and lounges offering you alternative spaces for studying and socializing. Even our laundry facilities can help you better manage your busy schedule, notifying you via text message or email when your load is done or as machines become available. LMU has a variety of dining venues, open early morning to late at night and spread throughout campus. You can get a check up at the Health Center, catch a game at our Hannon Loft sports lounge, or shoot pool at the Corner Pocket. You will be steps away from all the services, recreation and activities the campus has to offer. For those times when you do want to leave campus to enjoy the rest of the city, you’ll find we are in an ideal location. The beach is just minutes away, and it’s easy to take advantage of all the opportunities a major city like Los Angeles has to offer. Our City of Angels is home to some of the world’s best in entertainment, shopping, the arts and recreation, and you’ll be near to it all!

In addition to making your living experience comfortable, we make every effort to ensure your safety and security.

The same card, along with a personal identification number chosen by you, will unlock the door to your room or apartment. Our Resident Advisors and campus public safety officers monitor the facilities and respond to situations when necessary.
