Campus Life

 

The LMU campuses provide a backdrop to each student's unique university experience. They provide an environment in which students focus deeply on academics, while also embracing life outside the classroom — from arts to athletics, spirituality to service. LMU provides diverse experiences that educate the whole person in mind, body and spirit.
