Loyola University Chicago Top Questions

There are tons of opportunities for students to be a part of action here. The org-fair is twice once each semester. Keep in mind when signing those sheets at the org fair that students are going to email you and call you obnoxiously until you tell them you said you WERE interested in the program, now you're not. The Greek life here is minimal, but if you want to do it you can find it. There are a couple of Frats. Chicago has an anti-brothel law so sororities is a little harder. If you're not into drinking there is an entire city to find things to do. Downtown is very accessible. The thing about Chicago is that it kind of shuts down past 10 if you don't have an ID (real or fake; they don't card hard).

I live off campus so I'm not really intergrated into the campus life

Always a ton going on. Plus, you're in Chicago.

Hamilton's is the hang out bar of Loyola. It is practically part of Loyola, and no matter how much we all complain about it, we love it. Fraternities and sororities are here, but they are not necessary to have fun socially. I had a particularly great experience in the dorm my freshman year; I met some of my closest friends that I still have today.

What social life? OH, the yippies that smoke the hookas by Mertz? Oh yea, or the jesus freaks? Hamilton's? Living downtown might create more of a social life. The city's nightlife is pretty fun... going to clubs and bars.

There certainly aren't any football games, so don't expect to be cheering in the bleachers!!! ((Unless of course you like Basketball or Soccer; those are a bit bigger here))

Lots of gay boys and girls in relationships. Good luck dating!

If I am awake on a Tueday at 2 am, I am likely coming home from studying in the Library or the Information Commons. Or throwing the frisbee around on a dimly lit field (cause the Library and Information Commons both close at 2 am during the regular semseter [not during finals week]). Or I am wasting time on the internet before going to bed.

Theater and sports are all popular, and there is plenty to do aside from partying, but there isn't a shortage of parties by any stretch. Anything someone wants to do, it can be found on or around campus.

Greek life is small, but awesome
