California colleges have, rightfully so, earned a reputation for being difficult to get into for out of state applicants. Loyola Marymount University is the rare Los Angeles based university that is a viable option for many Minnesota applicants. With a view of the Pacific Ocean, emphasis in film and television production, strong coursework in entrepreneurship and marketing, a diverse student-body, Division I sports, Greek life, and a strong Jesuit academic tradition, LMU is worthy of consideration.

Good fit for... Twin Cities applicants with a passion for film, yearning for a warm climate, ocean views, and that LA lifestyle AND still want to be able to root for their college's sports team.
Notable opportunities include... Studying film in Bonn, Germany, competing in a national eco-friendly car race, producing your own documentary, and attending the on campus music festival Fallapalooza.

The Details:
Student Population: Approx 8,500
Acceptance Rate: 50%
Average Cost After Aid: Approx $34,031

I read the College of the Week post about Loyola Marymount University and it was cool to see how the campus mixes city life in Los Angeles with big programs in film and business. Last semester when I had way too much homework, I actually used do my online class for me that time so I could finish early and still join a group project with friends. Reading this made me realize having help can make school and fun activities fit together better. your post makes me happy.
