Loyola University Chicago Top Questions

Students at Loyola are all very smart. Very grade conscious.

Loyola's student body is genuinely diverse; its stereotypes are uneasy to accurately define. One can find multitudes of any kind of stereotype. There is definitely some group for everyone.

I hadn't heard any stereotypes about Loyola students until I came here, but my first impression is that they were a lot of aspiring doctors from well off families. There are a lot of pre-med students and statistically they make more money than the families in my home town, but it is not a snobby rich kid school.

That 3/4th of the student populations are girls and it is mostly true. Loyola is mainly dominated by girls.

The biggest stereotype is that all the students are girls. There are many girls as the ratio is 60{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} girls to 40{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} guys, but the ratio gets more and more even every year.

There is a pretty big stereotype of all kids at Loyola being bio/pre-med. While Loyola is a really big pre-med school there are not near as many people who are still pre-med after their freshman year. Most people find a new major that they like more and the stereotype reall only holds true for freshman.

Party students and jocks, as well as mostly Catholic school students. 70{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} female, 30{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} male, with half of the men being homosexual, leaving us girls desperate. No football team, but many students are into sports anyway, and lots go to the gym. NOT a nerdy school. A stereotype is that everyone at Loyola is pre-med, which isn't true. Lots of people are, but lots are doing biology for research, many are doing theology, philosophy, and history, and a fair amount are in the business school and pre-law.

Geeks. No I don't think it is accurate. People consider us geeks because majority of the school studies Pre-Medicine or Pre-Law.

I think because Loyola is a private institution within a large, expensive city, the stereotype is "prep". There are more students here than at other schools that have the money to spend frivolously and care a little more about materials and status. Of course this does not include everyone, but there is definitely a strong population that can be considered "snoody".
