Loyola University Maryland Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Kasey

I wish I had known how difficult a transition period it can be to live on your own away from home for the first time. I underestimated it, even though I was excited about moving away and had talked to the people I was going to live with.

Carly

I wish I knew about the party scene. Also I wanted a small school but I didn't realize how small 3400 students really felt like. I wish I understood the core corriculum better, it is difficult to switch majors.

Michelle

nothing, i learned as i went along

Nicole

I wish I knew more about the ways to change a schedule around. As a freshman I was all worried about my schedule, but after my first year I realized you have a lot of room to move around.

Lauren

The amount of money that some students have within their reach. I also wish I would have known how dependent the social life at the school is on bars for weekend activities. In addition, I wish I would have been more able to find people that do different things than what everyone expects. Most students that go out to bars on the weekend are also willing to do other things. The study abroad system is also amazing and worth attending this school.
