STUDY ABROAD! You can do it anywhere if you come to Loyola. They have programs that allow you to study almost anywhere, in English or as language immersion. They also have a few direct exchange programs where you go to another branch of Loyola University or to a partner Jesuit University and are taught in English. The two most popular are in Rome and Beijing. Next year I am studying in Japan. You can go anywhere you'd like, at almost anytime of the year.

Loyola's motto is "Preparing People to Live Extraordinary Lives," and the school truly stands for learning more about yourself through serving others. Community service opportunities are everywhere in Chicago, and Loyola makes it easier for students to become involved through community service clubs and weekly soup kitchens. Service is not mandatory in any way, but many students still find themselves learning that they love helping others. Some people feel they become "Jesuitized" after coming to Loyola. Also, Loyola has campuses in Rome and Beijing. Many students take advantage of this and study abroad for a semester or summer. It is an amazing opportunity and unlike other study abroad programs because you can travel with other Loyola students and attend an actual Loyola campus.
