Loyola University Chicago Top Questions

Describe your favorite campus traditions.

Freddy

My favorite campus tradition is the many events we’re provided.

Debra

Loyola has a great business school and a top notch law school

Maya

I believe Loyola is most known for the community here. Since Loyola is a smaller university, the students around campus become more like family the more classes you take or the more activities you get involved in. I also think Loyola is known for the diversity within this community; everyone comes from a plethora of different and unique backgrounds from all over the world. I think because of these factors, everyone can find a community that suits their interests and needs, and helps better their experience at Loyola.

If I had to put it into one idea, it would culminate in 'Jesuit Values'. That's what our school is best known for. That's not to say that everyone there is deeply Catholic or conservative. What I mean by that is employers know that students coming from our school have been taught generousity, community involvement, and social justice. And these ideas stem to all of the 'selling points' of the university that we are usually known for. Like our trail blazing environmental initiatives, for example.

Loyola's medical campus is accomplished and attracts many undergraduates. Most of my peers in the Honors Program are biology majors or somehow involved in the pre-medical or pre-health programs. Non-academically, Loyola is very well known for its location in the heart of Chicago. Students can easily take the public transportation downtown and most visitors to the school consider making this trip a necessity. Loyola draws many science-area majors and students who wish to live in the big city.

Loyola is best known for being exceptive, with most of it?s students being pre-med, and coming from private Catholic high schools and high income families.

Kate

It is famous for being the only Jesuit university in the Chicago area.

Nineveh

Definately a beautiful campus. We're mostly known for our location/"it's cooler by the lake." At times I feel as though we focus too much on how our campus appears yet I rarely ever see students just "chillin'." Everyone seems to be lost in their thoughts, clutching their books to their chest, trying to get to class on time. I guess you can say that it is known for it's picture perfect scenery, yet everyone is simply too worried about getting something done on time or crashing for a test. Where'd the fun in education go?
