Our Newest Campus Addition Deserves Its Own Glamour Shoot

Yeah. I know. There are those of you out there who say that there is nothing glamorous about a parking lot. 

Those of you who say that have obviously not tried to park on our Palos Verdes campus during finals week. Think Hunger Games meets Fast And Furious 6.

[It was never actually our fault—our footprint in the beautiful Palos Verdes hills was necessarily restricted to preserve the land around us—but that didn't change the fact that one of our top complaints from students, staff and faculty was a lack of available parking.]

Check out a video about all our campuses here. 

Mariners, we have heard (and felt) your pain! Now, as part of the school-splosion we've been undergoing since 2010, we've transformed what used to be our practice field into the world's most beautiful parking lot.

Rejoice! Rejoice as you ease your car into a comfortable spot without making enemies of your fellow Mariners! Rejoice as you stroll about 8 1/2 feet to the door of your class! Rejoice, Professors, as the "I-was-late-to-Biology-because-I-couldn't-find-parking" excuse will soon go the way of Potorous platyops! 

Seriously, though. I've never been so excited about asphalt. Check out the pictures after the jump and let us know what you think. 

Introducing Michaelanne(gelo), Our Newest Student Blogger

• Quintessentially Quirky
• A red-head in denial
• Emphatically Anti-Skin Cancer (or pro-sunscreen, depending on how you want to spin it)
• Curious (and also Collegiate)
• Coffee Aficionado
• Believer in Carpe[ing] Diems
• Student of the Globe (and Money)
• Generally Awesome

The preceding list is but a scanty preview of our witty and well-red student blogger Michaelanne. She's "attempting, as many have before her, to chronicle the curious life of a college student." She's doing a pretty darn good job.


A little about her: she's from Arizona, though she moved to California in high school. I don't blame her, because she has ruddy hair and most likely the sun-tolerance of a (non-glittering-type) vampire. She's petite, smart as a whip, and has a dry and understated sense of humor that often evokes delayed laughter when one finally catches up to the joke. 


Her blog, The Curious Collegiate, is about her experience here at Marymount, and is definitely worth a read. Check it out here.
