What Recent Grads Say See All 16 Comments >

-I got a quality education where teachers were teaching not only a curriculum but also life lessons and experiences. The school also is very social and, in a way, laid back. Classmates help each other rather than continually compete. LMU is more than a GMAT score. They want motivated individuals not good GMAT exam takers.
