On Campus

Doheny Hall

Girls dorm (usually, but not in 06.1 and 2) across from Sullivan Academic Center (aka the CTY office.) It is relatively close to anywhere on campus you would want to go. An elevator that only RAs can use take you up and down between the three floors. The laundry room is found on the second floor, and often there is a waiting list for the washers/dryers. Vending machines are right inside the dorm entrance, so be sure to bring extra change with you. In rooms there are two rather smelly walk-in closets, one mirror, and one sink. Showers are seperated from the main bathrooms (two containing multiple stalls and showers are found on each floor) by a curtain.

Huesman Hall

A boys dorm (girls in 06.1 and 2) adjacent to Doheny. It is in the shape of a U. Two bathrooms containing three stalls and multiple urinals are located on opposite ends of the hall. The showers are seperated from the main bathroom by a door and a curtain, and there is a shelf and multiple hooks to place clothes, shampoo, and towels. One of the sides of the hall ends in a dead end and the other opens up into a chapel. The laundry room is on the side of the dorms that opens into the chapel, and because it serves only one floor, there is usually no waiting for washers or dryers if you choose the right times. The vending machines are also in the laundry room, so do not buy anything that can melt, as it usually is melted. It is very hot in Huesman, so be sure to bring a fan.

Desmond Hall

A girls dorm that was under construction in 2006. Located across from Rosecrans and in front of Whelan. The CTY picture is taken from the roof of Desmond looking down onto the Rosecrans Courtyard.

Rosecrans Hall

A boys dorm with three floors and large windows.

Whelan Hall

Unisex hall with three floors and very large windows. Mirrors are in the room, but no sinks. The vending machines are located near the first floor entrance. This hall is the furthest from anything/everything, like the Sullivan Courtyard, Cafeteria, and most of the classrooms. There is also roof access.

Sullivan Courtyard

The courtyard where kids meet before activities. In 06.1 and 2 dances and social time also took place here due to the construction in Desmond.

Rosecrans Courtyard

The courtyard between Desmond and Rosecrans, where Social Time and dances were held in 05.1 and 2 (and maybe all the years before that?). The CTY picture for the yearbook is taken here in the morning.

Cafeteria

The cafeteria is shared between CTYers, sports camp kids (think 7-10 years old) during lunch, and dancers. During session 2 lunches, getting adjacent tables for your class is insanely difficult due to all of the kids high on the unlimited cookies, brownies, and cake. LMU food is also notorious for including potatoes in every meal, and "food recycling", i.e. today's pasta looks suspiciously like the noodles from yesterday's lunch's teriyaki rice bowl. When the sports camp is sharing lunch, there is usually a more kid-friendly menu that you may choose from if you do not like the regular lunch. Normally the sports kids have grilled cheese or hamburgers.
