Amie

Although it's a Jesuit institution, Loyola is very open and accepting to all religions, sexual orientations, and all other groups. There isn't a big Greek life atmosphere, but there are plenty of activities and groups for every interest.

Madeline

Loyola is a place where you can be yourself. People here accept diversity. It's a very welcoming school to be at.

Silvia

At Loyola they treat you like a person not like a number, it is small enough to get to know everyone, but large enough that alot of things are going on on campus. We are a Jesuit school and I take alot of pride in my religion.

Sharifah

As a private university, we enjoy endless priveleges that many students at other schools do not have, and the more appreciate these opportunities, the happier you are as a student. Being a Jesuit school, Loyola caters to all religions, and we each have a personal university-provided space (newly built just last year)! TThe campus is absolutely beautiful! We also have the beautiful Chapel in the middle of campus, our view overlooks the lake, the beach is just a few steps away!

Anne

Loyola has easy access to the city of Chicago and plenty of opportunities to explore and learn more about it.

Angel

the unique thing about my school is that it is a Jesuit institution that believes that a well rounded education is the best approach to a better life. This allows me to expand my knowledge in other areas that i might not have thought would be interesting and am not intrigued to know more about. Also this type of education allows you to more precisely find a match for you in careers if you are undecided.

Taylor

What makes Loyola unique compared to other schools is the emphasis that is placed on community service and generosity. From day one Loyola has been pushing for its students to become involved in the community and school by volunteering and giving their time to serve others.

Laura

Loyola University Chicago is much smaller than other schools I considered going to. However, this benefits its students because class sizes are smaller, so more one on one time with the professors. Also, other schools that I considered did not offer the opportunities that Loyola did to me in the aspects of double majoring in four years, or some combination of degrees, still fitting into the standard four year undergradutate term.

Maggie

I think this school provided a great opportunity to not only make students of diverse belief systems and lifeways feel comfortable and appreciated, but to encourage those students with little experience in the world outside suburban webs to explore the great possibilities of beliefs, cultural practices, lifestyles, and even careers. Students feel a part of something greater than just a bluegrass-lined campus. They feel the part of a busy, pumping, bumping city full of unique personalities and many different job choices. Many students I went to school with remain within five miles of our campus: that says so much.

Rose

It is close to a great city, very academically gocused and has a lot to offer its students.

Ann

If you're serious about studying and graduate school, come here. Go to the Org Fair in September and get involved in two or three clubs your freshman year. You will only regret coming here if you stay locked up in your room and somehow expect new friends to come to you.

Alainya

It is a fairly small campus with two main sites, one in Rogers Park and one downtown. Both are close to the lakefront, which is very pretty. During my first year at Loyola, I noticed that everyone was very friendly and that there were a lot of extra-curricular opportunities available for students who wanted to be involved on campus.

Kristin

The thing that is most unique to Loyola University-Chicago compard to other schools is the feel of the city. It is a great exprience living in one of the largest cities in the United States. Loyola helps students in giving them plenty of fun activities at a reduced price to not only help give them a community feel, but also a feel of the city. It is truly unique exprience to have the whole city at your fingertips, making possible activities an endless oppurtinity.

Jamie

Loyola is unique in the fact that it incorporates a religious background with a passion for education. It is also very liberal in accepting other beliefs and seems to provide a better support structure for all of its students. I preferred it over other schools because it has such a warm and caring environment for all students and faculty. Also, it has two campuses which allows students to explore more of the city by having locations both downtown near the loop as well as farther north in a neighborhood area that has a beautiful view of the lake.

Josue

Loyola has two campuses in Chicago. The Water Tower campus is located in the center of the city and surrounded by the beautiful skyscapers. The second campus is the Lake Shore and it is located at shore of Lake Michigan and it is 20-30mins away from the Water Tower Campus .

Gretchen

Loyola is considered Jesuit so that makes it unique. The campus is in Chicago which is within 6 hours of my house. That makes it far enough away from home to feel independant but close enough to go home for a weekend if nesscesary.

Brinkley

Its in a city that lets you explore your passions.

Loyola University has a unique community within the Chicago area. As a Jesuit school, Loyola promotes the importance of education in every aspect, service to others, and the ultimate goal of making a positive difference in the world. Loyola integrates religion and a well-rounded education to bestow in their students the knowledge, inspiration, and faith to go and lead extraordinary lives. Starting from day one, a Loyola student is constantly supported and encouraged to explore the city of Chicago and to truly become part of the community by participating in community service within AND outside the Loyola campus.
