Loyola Marymount University Freshman Dorms Ranked

Number 3

"It was generally a good dorm. I prefer a private rather than collective bathroom, that is why I chose this dorm. The building is quite old, so there are far more modern dorms in LMU. However, in terms of comfort, I really liked this dorm. There is a laundry room in each floor except for the first floor, so 8/10 there will always be a slot. There is also elevator in one end of the building so moving things up and down is not that difficult. There is also a restaurant in the first floor so food is easy access. The only thing that is inconvenient is that its location is quite far from other freshman dorms. So if you are a freshman living here, you might feel a little isolated from all your friends. It is also quite far from all freshman classes, so there will always be a walk. It close to UHall tho! Overall, I would give this dorm a 7/10." - 3 years ago

"rosecrans is arguably the worst freshman dorm on campus--and its reputation as a party dorm somehow attracts the most inconsiderate, unhygenic people, ESPECIALLY THE GIRLS. the girls bathroom was disgusting all year long, despite the bathroom being cleaned semi-regularly. the walls are so thin you can hear other people's alarms in the morning, as well as almost everyone's conversations in the hallways. if you live on the side facing the parking lot (especially if you're on the first floor), you're located right by the beach volleyball court, which can be noisy and disruptive during practice times. it's also best to just avoid the 4th floor lounge completely, because people have sex there " - 2 years ago

"Pros: Rooms are larger than the rest. Lots of space. You have a sink in your dorm room. There is also a ceiling fan in each room. Top floor lounge is spacious and has lots of seats. Very close to everything. I think it’s better than Rosecrans and Whelan. Very cozy and homey in my opinion. I lived here my freshman year and loved it.

Cons: very old building, so things are not very modern. shower heads are at an approx. 5’6- 5’7 level, rip tall people. No AC (only a problem when there is really hot weather like high 80s-90s F. Some sinks are boarded up. I think the 150s, 250s, and 350s are boarded up. Some have a wall column that sticks out in the middle that makes the bed awkward, but this isn’t a huge problem.
