LIFE AT LOMA
While 90 acres overlooking the Pacific sure makes for a stunning setting to study, it’s the community of students who live, serve, and grow together here that makes PLNU unlike anywhere else.
Whether you live on campus, transfer from another school, or commute from the greater San Diego area, you’ll find plenty of ways to make PLNU home. Between the vast number of opportunities to learn, lead, play, and worship, there are seemingly endless combinations to find life at Loma uniquely made for you.
Residential Life and Housing
Living on campus can form a significant part of your PLNU experience. Each residence hall is staffed with a full-time resident director (RD), and a committed team of student resident assistants (RAs) to make dorm life both enjoyable and safe.

PLNU was founded on the commitment to serving others with compassion, hospitality, and humility. Combined with worship, service, and leadership opportunities, exploring and living out faith is fundamental to students’ educational journeys.

The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.” So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. - Matthew 28:5-8 Happy Easter Sunday!
