[class project] i made a tool to search 100 secondhand clothing sites at once

hi everyone! my friend michelle and I were frustrated by depop scammers and searching through tons of resale sites just to find one thing.

so, for our class project, we created an AI-powered secondhand search tool called Encore. You can try it out here: www.shopencore.ai <3

it searches  ~100 secondhand fashion sites all in one place -(Depop, Grailed, TheRealReal, Vinted, Thredup, Ebay, etc.), as well as local / global sites across Japan, Italy, and beyond, all in one spot! find anything you're looking for in an instant, and know you're getting the best deal. 

just type what you’re looking for and follow-up until you find the one. beyond finding clothes, look for textbooks, instruments, electronics, and furniture, to name a few. 

we’d love your feedback or advice on making it even better, tysm and happy shopping (๑'ᵕ'๑)⸝*

Hey all,

I’m currently a grad student at LMU and I’m looking into different housing for next year. Are there any grad students who currently or previously lived in graduate student housing? I would love to hear your experiences about housing.

Common app Question

Hello Everyone

I was filling out the LMU applications and I was wondering for the major choices. I want to major in finance. But when I want to choose a major there's 2 that appear, Finance and Business - Finance, so what are the differences between them?

Film Production Portfolio

Hello! I'm working on my submission for the film program at LMU, and am deciding what to submit for my visual sample. My two options are to either submit a 3 minute film that I made recently, or to submit a few scenes from a longer film that I made more recently. The scenes from the longer film are much better technically and story-wise; would it be bad to submit only those scenes (out of context from the rest of the film) instead of a full film that isn't as strong? Thanks!

Potential Lmu Trasnfer

Hi. I'm in my second year at a CCC, and I've been thinking about applying to Lmu for my Junior and Senior year. At first, I wasn't looking at Lmu's direction because I wanted to go to school in North Cal, and I've lived in Los Angeles my whole life and wanted to get away. I visited the campus a few weeks ago because my BFF goes there (She's leaving, sadly), and I'm not gonna lie, I fell in love. It reminded me of my childhood dreams and Zoey 101 as a whole. So, I've been doing some research lately and wanted to know more information from ACTUAL Lmu transfer/first-year students.

  1. How is the social life for a transfer? ( I ask this because I'm coming in super late, and I guarantee ppl already made their cliques)
  2. What's the party scene? I know it's not a big campus, but are there spots ppl like to go to around the campus as well?
  3. How is the financial aid there? Before FA, it's around $89k, including housing. What are some tips to lowering it down and not be in crazy debt, and does Lmu help with financial aid? Do you recommend living on campus as a junior?
  4. I'm POC (if any black students would like to reply to this question, lol) How is the black student body at the school? I heard they cut the AKA's because they were "doing too much?" What's up with that?
  5. Do you need a car to get around the area? I've been looking into getting a car, but would it be easier to have?
  6. I've read up on the food on the campus, and it's not the best. What are a few good food spots y'all like to go to that are close to campus?

Anything will help :) Just want to get y'all opinions.

Fraternities

As a freshman this year, I'm highly considering rushing a fraternity in the spring. I have seen so many different lists of rankings or reputations, that I'm kinda lost. Does anybody have any insights on certain frats/ their reputations at LMU? Also, would it be a better choice to rush in the Fall of Sophmore year, or to rush in the Spring this year as a Freshman?

Can I leave after I take my last final exam?

I’m looking to book flights back home for the winter. Is there any reason to stay on campus after my last final? I pretty much finish on Wednesday if the schedule goes to plan so unless there’s a reason to stay around I kinda want to leave as soon as possible. Any advice?

Questions Regarding LMU

Hello,

My family recently took a tour of LMU and really liked it. I do have a few follow up questions that I did not feel were answered well by our tour guide.

  1. How is the cafeteria food at LMU? I've read that it is horible, but the guide said that he thought it was good. Where do you all stand on the food at LMU?

  2. I was fortunate to be in a fraternity when I was in college and am going to recommend my son do the same. I went to a major university where my fraternity had 120 guys in it. What is considered a large house at LMU and although LMU does not have houses, are the unofficial houses in a concentrated area or spread throughout the Westchester area? Would you recommend someone join a fraternity at LMU?

  3. How safe is it to hang out at Dockweiler? I ask because there have been a few violent crimes that have occurred their in the last couple of years and wanted to get a student's perspective on going there to hangout and to surf.

  4. For those that are living off campus now, how difficult is it to find an apartment in the surrounding areas? We are aware that getting apartments in San Francisco and San Diego can be very difficult, but how about Westchester and the surrounding communities? Is there a large population of students that move to El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, and the surrounding beach communities?

  5. We were not allowed to tour the school gym. How much does it cost and do you feel that there is adequate space and equipment to work out?

LMU seems like a fantastic school. Thanks in advance for answering my questions.

Why did you choose LMU?

I am a high school senior thinking about applying to LMU and I wanted to get student perspectives on why it is a good place to attend.

What do you like and what made you choose LMU over other schools? if anyone under an engineering major could also mention the academic side of things.

La fitness

Does anyone want to work out at the la fitness on Manchester with me? I don’t like the school gym or the playa vista location and I’m trying to get into shape. The school gym and the other is just too crowded and I don’t like to workout with my classmates.

I have a guest pass so you’d be able to get in for free.

How is LMU’s accounting major?

I currently want to transfer from CSUSM to possibly LMU for accounting and I was wondering how good the accounting program is at LMU and if it is worth it. Also, I was wondering if the big 4 recruits a lot from LMU as well.

How was the first month so far for you all?

For the new students, did you managed to make many new friends or still looking for a group? How does your classes feel so far?

For those who are returning students, doing anything different from last year? New small jobs or internships?

Hope everything is going well for everyone!

ED Benefits

I made a post earlier this week asking how long ED benefits last, but I wasn't given a clear answer about the early class registration. I could register one day early this first semester, and I'm curious if I get that second semester too. I understand I won't get it sophomore year and on, but I wasn't sure if I get it 2nd semester freshman year too.

Is it common knowledge LMU let in a student who got off for a hazing murder and not only that, also let them be the president and captain of the lacrosse team?

ETA: not the current captain. Pls google Timothy Piazza.

*Early Decision Benefits* FOR EARLY DECISION ADMITTED UPPERCLASSMEN

I'm a freshman this year and I was admitted for Early Decision. I got multiple great benefits because of this including:

  • Early 1 Day priority on class registration
  • Priority on housing preferences
  • Small scholarship money

I am very curious, how long do these benefits last for throughout my time at LMU?

  • Will I always receive this scholarship?
  • Will I always be able to register for classes a day early?
  • Will I always get priority on housing options?

I hope some upperclassmen who got in from ED can help me out!
