Esports
The Esports Themed Community will focus on allowing gamers to live in community with a shared sense of purpose around gaming. Countless games revolve around a multiplayer aspect; others, while singleplayer, build large online followings and communities coming together to enthuse about the game. By allowing students a living space to freely express and enthuse about their interests, we work to provide a sense of community in a scene that carries heavy external judgement. It may also prove valuable for those interested in the growing games industry in a multitude of fields such as computer science, acting and voice acting, graphic design and animation, and computer engineering. Not only does the community encourage hands-on-learning, skill building, and academic improvement, it also harnesses the cooperative aspect of life.
Members will gain experience in numerous skills such as:
- Physical coordination
- Interpersonal communication
- Giving and receiving feedback
- Teamwork
- Problem solving and strategic thinking

Home Stretch Community
Home Stretch is designed for students in their final semesters at LMU. Seniors who indicate an interest in Home Stretch will be manually assigned later in the process to an apartment in Leavey 5 that faces the LMU Bluff and provides a view of the Los Angeles basin from the Pacific Ocean to the Hollywood Hills.
Students should communicate with their roommate group if they will be expressing interest in Home Stretch. If anyone in the roommate group is not eligible for or does not also select Home Stretch, the Roommate Group will be split to place those eligible and interested in the Home Stretch community.
