Thanks for the school name. It does make a difference. Is it possible? Yes. Convenient? NO. It's 20 miles, in which you will have to pass downtown. You'll be lucky to do it in an hour. I would highly recommend looking for something around Playa Del Rey, Marina Del Rey, Redondo Beach, etc. The commute is a killer.

It is 28 miles from west Pasadena to LMU, if you're on the east side of Pasadena, it's over 30 miles each way. It would take about 40 minutes to get to LMU from west Pasadena if the traffic is moving well, but it can take over 1 1/2 hours when traffic is slow. If you have great housing in Pasadena, then it might be worth the time and gas expense to you. But have you looked into LMU housing? It's like $8000 - $10000 a year. You could also look for off-campus housing, they probably have help with that on their website. Remember, beyond gas expense, there are tires, mechanical, etc and your time and major stress!

you can still do using transit services it wiil take you about 2 hours for this commute ( day pass or better yet a ez pass would be the best bet here) since one of the connecting transit systems in this routing doesnt honor metro day passes but they do honor the EZ pass from Pasadena you can take the Gold Line into Union station then board Line 33 (bay 6) take the 33 to Lincoln/Venice then transfer to the Santa Monica line #3 bus to LMU another routing would take the gold line to union station then catch one of the 445, 446, 447 buses take any of these buses to the manchester station transfer again to the Manchester rapid bus to Sepulevda/Manchester and then transfer again to the Santa Monica bus to LMU

Is it possible? Certainly! :) Is it worth and convient to commute? Not at all, its a killer! I strongly agreed with MrObviousman. Hes famous on this forum :) Hence, I hate commuting from Glendale to Pasadena for educational purposes eventhough its only a 14 minutes drives/12 miles.

No, it's not convenient at all unless you want to sit in traffic for 2 hours a day.
