The Correctly Named "Spring Preview Day" Is On Saturday, 2/11

Yes, that's really our campus. No, it's not 'shopped. 

It's almost time for Spring Preview Day! Woot! 

That's a day in spring when you can preview our campus. Hence the name. 

Logical appellations aside, Spring Preview Day is truly "woot"-worthy because it represents one of your best (and last) formal opportunities to see all that Marymount has to offer. 

Oh yeah, it's free and comes with two awesome meals—which is certainly reason enough for me (I like food). 


In addition to eating, you can:

• Meet our faculty
  
• Get the insider secrets to earning admission into Marymount, and complete your application during another aptly named event—the "application workshop" (see what I did there?)  
• Interview with your admission counselor
• Learn about our various degree programs
• Get all of your burning Financial Aid questions (the FAQs of FA, as it were) answered and file your FAFSA with the support of one of our Financial Aid team members. 
• Tour our awesome, townhouse-style residences
• Tell me how awesome my blog is and watch me blush (like a ripe strawberry on a warm spring day. ...Nummers.)

Experts Agree: Marymount Housing is More Awesome Than Soviet Bloc Apartments

Yeah, we're pretty proud of our Residential Life at Marymount. After all, you get a house—a fully-furnished two-or-three bedroom townhouse to be more specific. And we include utilities, food (from the same company that caters for the Getty Museum), parking, 24-hour gated security, and transportation. 

It's certainly better than some of the alternatives.

It's Friiiday, Friiiiday, Friiiiday [This Just In: Saturday Comes Next]!

Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun (yeah!)--you know what fun is! Take some time this weekend to have some! Forget the important decisions, like whether to take the front seat or the back seat. Just kick back, relax, and "party" like a tone deaf 13 year-old.

Here's some good news to assuage your worries and ease your troubled mind into weekend mode: we haven't lost your application. If you haven't heard from us yet, it doesn't mean that something is wrong. We're still admitting for fall, we're still giving out financial aid, we're still accepting applications for housing. We have a record number of applications, and we're committed to making sure that each applicant gets the same careful consideration that we've always given in the past. It might take a little longer, but don't worry. You'll hear from us. We promise.

So, now you can breathe a big sigh of relief and start planning your weekend festivities. Read on after the jump for our top ten list of things to do in the Marymount (South Bay) area.

Marymount College Residential Life - The Movie

No, it's not the Dorm Life web-series--but it's awesome anyway.

 The idea of living on-campus--far from home and everything you've ever known--can be both exciting and a little terrifying.

"What are the facilities going to be like?" 

"Will I have enough privacy?" 

"Is the food edible?" 

"What if my roommate collects belly-button lint?"

(All valid questions. Respectively: Super-cool; Not really, but that's part of the fun; Nummers!; Hide your fuzzy sweaters.)

We understand your worries. But we want to assure you, living on-campus is one of the best parts of college, and the residential life at Marymount is one of our proudest features. We're so proud of it, in fact, that our Residential Life staff was inspired to create the best housing video ever made.

I laughed. I cried. I aspirated some coffee.

Watch it after the jump.
