The best thing about my school is that Loyola offers amazing study abroad oppertunities to for a students to take advantage of no matter your major. Loyola has campuses in Rome, Beijing, and in Vietnam. This may seem like it would be too expensive to study abroad but, that is not the case because, at Loyola all finance aid can be used directly towards your time aboard and credits earned aboard automatically transfer without a hassle. After college students will enter the workforce and their time will be limited so a study aboard opportunity prior to graduation would be awesome!

What I love about Loyola is the campus. I feel peace since we are close to the lake and beach. I also love most professors because they are willing to push you to go to the next level and relate business concepts with actual life situations. If I don'tunderstand something, most professors are willing to spend the time to help me.

I like the location the best. Loyola is in Chicago and is definitely a part of the city - the school itself is close to public transportation, jobs and volunteering take place both close to campus and downtown, and students are encouraged to explore the area.

The opportunities available to all students. The campus is just a few minutes away from the 3rd largest city in the US allowing each student to have the world at their figertips. We are given the chance to explore new things, be creative, find what makes uspassionate, and excel at all of those things. Loyola also encourages us to use the city as a resource to become something special and to be more than any of of us ever thought we could be.

The greatest aspect about Loyola Chicago is its location—just north of downtown Chicago and just off the shorelines of the beautiful and majestic Lake Michigan! There is nothing I love more than coming to our wonder Information Commons to sit by the windows to study and have the ability to just turn my chin up and gaze out into the surreal unknown. The peacefulness I feel from watching the waves hit the shore is so great, and it is a wonderful way to take a break from the busy and stressful college life and just be.

I consider the city of Chicago to be the best thing about Loyola. The location of the campus creates a beautiful tight-knit college community feeling, yet provides access to an unimaginable number of opportunities. The internships, volunteer opportunities, and educational endeavors available in Chicago and through Loyola is unparalleled by most other universities.
Sabrina
Too many great opportunities. Clubs, sports, internships, CHICAGO. So Much To DO!

If I would have to chose one best thing about my school, it would be that the campus is right on Lake Michigan. I am a commuter and driving to school every day I drive by Lake Michigan. Although I don't know why, the view gives me motivation. The calming and inspiring effect of the lake gives me hope for a new day, and a strength that I can do whatever I set my mind to and no one can stop me. The view is like defining "x", there is no definte answer and it inspires everyone.

Besides teachers, academics, and my friends, the best thing about my school is that it is in Chicago. When choosing a school I wanted to go to a big city because there is so much to do and so many opportunities. In Chicago, there is so much you can learn. There are people or all backgrounds and walks of life. I also really like the ability to take classes in the heart of the city. Chicago is so diverse. One minute you could be exploring the Art Museum or attending a pro sports game. I love Chicago!

The greatest thing about my undergraduate institution is its location in the city of Chicago, a diverse metropolitan. For many students, campus can become a very isolating place with individuals grouping by commonalities. This was the farthest from the truth at my school. While students do still group to share in similarities, they more often celebrate differences, forming their own independent identity in a city of great personality. On days the dorms felt isolating and mundane, one could jump on a bus and end in the cultural center of China, Guadalajara, India, or any wonderful places full of learning experiences.

The best thing about this school is its location. It is close to a city so if you are in a major such as business or communication, you have a lot of opportunities stright out of college right here in Chicago. It is easy to make connections through this school.
Meredith
This school is really great if you enjoy liberal arts. There are lots of dance performances, choir concerts, and other forms of art expression. Another thing is that even though this is a Jesuit university, everyone here is very accepting of diverse religions and other races, as well as other lifestyles (LGBTQ). It's also in a great location. Downtown Chicago is only a train ride away and there are so many great spots close to campus.
Habiba
The campus, which is beautiful. Besides that, I like having smaller classes, especially in the downtown campus.
Tiffany
Professors-because they teach students so well.
Elizabeth
It's located in Chicago so there's a lot going on.
Victoria
It's a nice meduim-sized school so the classes are not so bigthat you can't even ask the teacher a question during class. Freshman year lectures can get in the hundreds but I haven't been in one that reached 200 which is nice. The teachers don't need a microphone to lecuture students in class like they do at huge schools like UCLA which is nice. The professors also have convenient office hours and are willing to meet or at least email you if you have questions so you can get the most out of your education.

Loyola is heavy on civil rights, justice, sevice and the improvement in life of all individuals. Much of the energy in the school is focused on helping other people, and utilizing personal talents in succeeding and then applying them in productive manner that can help other people. Education extends beyond the classroom to include a unique human element that creates a constant reminder of the world you live in and the human connection.
Gretchen
I love the location of Loyola University. Chicago is not only a great place in the academic world but it is also has a thriving social scene. I love that I can go into the city on the weekends and that there are classes available on our downtown campus. The campus itself is beautiful and the lake is a wonderful location. It is relaxing to do homework and look out from the Information Commons to the lake.

The best thing about Loyola is what I consider to be one of the most important ideas in today's ever globalizing world. Loyola gives every student the necessary tools to make a difference in the world. Loyola's professors, advisors, and upperclassman instill in the younger students the need to live meaningfully. Loyola's unique location, in Chicago, gives students many opportunities to impact their community. I believe the best thing Loyola offers is an education and location which allows a student to think globally and act locally.
