Although it's a Jesuit institution, Loyola is very open and accepting to all religions, sexual orientations, and all other groups. There isn't a big Greek life atmosphere, but there are plenty of activities and groups for every interest.

Loyola is a place where you can be yourself. People here accept diversity. It's a very welcoming school to be at.

At Loyola they treat you like a person not like a number, it is small enough to get to know everyone, but large enough that alot of things are going on on campus. We are a Jesuit school and I take alot of pride in my religion.

As a private university, we enjoy endless priveleges that many students at other schools do not have, and the more appreciate these opportunities, the happier you are as a student. Being a Jesuit school, Loyola caters to all religions, and we each have a personal university-provided space (newly built just last year)! TThe campus is absolutely beautiful! We also have the beautiful Chapel in the middle of campus, our view overlooks the lake, the beach is just a few steps away!

Loyola has easy access to the city of Chicago and plenty of opportunities to explore and learn more about it.

the unique thing about my school is that it is a Jesuit institution that believes that a well rounded education is the best approach to a better life. This allows me to expand my knowledge in other areas that i might not have thought would be interesting and am not intrigued to know more about. Also this type of education allows you to more precisely find a match for you in careers if you are undecided.

What makes Loyola unique compared to other schools is the emphasis that is placed on community service and generosity. From day one Loyola has been pushing for its students to become involved in the community and school by volunteering and giving their time to serve others.

Loyola University Chicago is much smaller than other schools I considered going to. However, this benefits its students because class sizes are smaller, so more one on one time with the professors. Also, other schools that I considered did not offer the opportunities that Loyola did to me in the aspects of double majoring in four years, or some combination of degrees, still fitting into the standard four year undergradutate term.

I think this school provided a great opportunity to not only make students of diverse belief systems and lifeways feel comfortable and appreciated, but to encourage those students with little experience in the world outside suburban webs to explore the great possibilities of beliefs, cultural practices, lifestyles, and even careers. Students feel a part of something greater than just a bluegrass-lined campus. They feel the part of a busy, pumping, bumping city full of unique personalities and many different job choices. Many students I went to school with remain within five miles of our campus: that says so much.

It is close to a great city, very academically gocused and has a lot to offer its students.
