I've learned a lot coming here; Loyola University is all about the idea of creating a well rounded person in all aspects. The focus isn't on you as a student who needs to make perfect grades. The focus is on you doing great academically, but also growing into a spiritually aware person, as well as a person that is compassionate and makes a difference for their community. When you come here, you learn skills in the classroom, but you also learn skills to become a better person in every aspect of you.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Being from very far away, I was nervous to come here, I didn't know what to expect--but it has been great. I've been lucky enough to have several really amazing professors that clearly love what they do. Also, I've made awesome friends, and there is absolutely always something going on (especially if you dig music), because you're in New Orleans!
The campus is small but cozy, in not too long you'll find that you see tons of familiar faces.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The cost of attendance is surprisingly low for a private school; Loyola is a very well respected University, and rightly so. Definitely worth the money if you work hard and make the most.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
I would definitely advise any prospective students to come visit; you can see what the people are like, how they actually use the campus, etc.
Also, don't be put off by the fact that it's a Jesuit school; religion is never pushed on anybody, not even in the religion courses themselves. It's mind opening and people are very down to earth, not uptight.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students who are interested in music should absolutely put this school on the list. Loyola is known for it's excellent music programs.
Students who are interested in studying abroad.
Students who are interested in religious studies.
Students looking for a cozy, small school with easy access to the city.
