OTIS College Dangerous to attend?(In Los Angeles, California)?

Question

I noticed that OTIS college in Los Angeles, CA is very close to LAX(LA Airport). Is there any chance that a plane could accidently hit OTIS? And how far is it from LAX?

Answer 1

I had to laugh when I read your question, because I am a faculty member at Loyola Marymount University, which is very near Otis, and I spent three years living south of Otis, which was about two or three blocks closer to the airport than the school is. If it makes you feel any better, the runway patterns are such that the planes don't go directly overhead. They take off from the South going west, over the ocean, before turning around at a much higher altitude. They land about 1/2 mile south, and while they presumably could veer off course, I've never known it to happen. The small planes take off and land from Santa Monica airport, and over the years I've heard of several of those crashing into homes in that area, but LAX only deals with larger planes, and in my 43 years in L.A., I've never heard of this happening.

The only unpleasant things I can tell you about is that when I lived in the apartment near the airport, there was noise and a smell of jet fuel fumes at some times of day, when the wind sent them in the wrong direction. The buildings were wel-soundproofed, though, so it wasn't a problem inside, just when I went out.

Pepperdine in Malibu is an ideas-blowing college. It additionally expenses plenty and you prefer some ideas-blowing skills to be standard. In Claremont there are the Claremont faculties. 8 diverse universities that proportion a similar great, and intensely tremendously, campus. while you're no longer a resident than your training would be a minimum of double. till it particularly is a private college and then your training will basically be intense. Residency demands living in California for a million 3 hundred and sixty 5 days continually.

Wow. Interesting question. Otis has been in that location since at least the 1960's, and hasn't been hit by a plane yet, so I'm thinking that you'll be okay.
