Being a private university, it is common to hear outsiders call Loyola students to be "white,rich and preppy".

The biggest stereotype at Loyola is that people who go to Loyola only concern themselves with drinking and partying. Another one is that people attending Loyola aren't very smart or driven to achieve things because of preconcived notions such as the drinking stereotype.

According to our enemies who attend Northwestern, a university set in bourgeois country (Evanston) just north of Rogers Park, Loyola is the safety school for those of us not enlightened enough to attend their school; in short, we are inferior in all ways - whether it be intelligence, prestige, or wealth.

That they're all white, Catholic and pre-med. That they don't party was much as they study and don't get out much.

Private school stuck ups, nerds, gay people, liberals.
