Hi Everyone! I just want to start a thread for people who applied for MSMU's ABSN Program fall admission this year! We can keep each other updated here. ?

Hi Jtalley! I plan to move closer to campus but still not sure where!

Has anyone received their admissions letters in the mail yet?

Sounds arbitrary, but I have been googling "Mt St Mary's housing apartments" and "Housing near USC" hahah. I've found a couple! Luckily, there are plenty of housing options within a 15 min radius (using the backstreets)! I wouldn't recommend Craigslist, it's not too helpful. Also, in myMSMU, there is an offcampus housing listing. I haven't been able to access it yet, even though I've paid my deposit.

What places have you found?!

I'll be commuting from 12 miles away. Past cohorts have done a carpool from the Harbor Gateway Transit Center at the 100 and 91 freeway interchanges. If you leave around 6AM it's typically 18-24 minutes (per google). I would definitely be up for that if there are others near that interchange. I was a student at USC for awhile which is adjacent the MSMU Doheny campus so one option is to search USC off campus housing at College Confidential to see where their students typically rent. Can do the same for the MSMU Doheny campus. Here's a couple resources to add to the MSMU off campus link:

hotpads.com search 90007 Apartments for Rent near | HotPads

Just know that College Confidential is unfiltered so you can't take every post seriously. Since safety in the surrounding community is typically part of the conversation at College Confidential (when it comes to USC at least) here's their map of 24 hour patrol if that's helpful as well.

Patrol and Response Areas | Department of Public Safety | USC

My admission letter came USPS dated July 5th and arrived July 7th. (As I said earlier I'm fairly close- 12 miles away)

I went to MSMU for undergrad and from what I remember there are apartments all around the campus that are student housing, they also have the lorenzo apartments down the street. If you can, you can drive through the area and youll see the student housing signs.

Hello,

I also got accepted into the program and I received my letter on Saturday. I am also considering moving closer to campus.

Congratulations to everyone who got accepted! I sadly, did not get in because one of my recommenders did not submit their recommendation. I kept having trouble accessing the portal and I requested a password numerous times. It was only after trying to contact Agasia that I found out about the missing recommendation. She said that I could reapply for the next cycle. I am now politely HOUNDING my recommender about the letter and I am getting it tomorrow to resubmit my entire packet but now I am in a bit of a moral dilemma. Hopefully you all can help me out. I also applied to the RN program at PCC and IF I get into that one, should I go ahead and complete that one, or do I go, and IF I do get into MSMU- Would it be wise of me to drop out of the PCC RN program to start on the ABSN at MSMU?
