Loyola University-New Orleans is absolutely astonishing and amazing at what they do. No other words can describe what a great Jesuit university Loyola is. They truly fulfill what a true Jesuit university entitles.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you like the close-knit community feeling and being able to make friends within the week of move-in day or being able to have a one-to-one teacher to student relationship or walking short distances to your classes or feeling at home and having countless opportunities available at your fingertips, Loyola University New Orleans is the right choice for you!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Loyola University New Orleans is not bad at their academic rigor at all. It's like how any university would expect their students to behave or do in their academic setting. Loyola University New Orleans wants you to strive in your academic career and the teachers and faculty are more than happy to help you with any questions, concerns or problems you may have with school.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Absolutely love the dorm life. There are so many choices and different types of building dorm life style livings. You can live in a communal, suite, or apartment style living and they're all located on campus with other off campus residence buildings. I live in a suite-style living and it's a great opportunity to meet other people who live right next door to you or on your floor.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Loyola University New Orleans has a buffet eating style where you can eat at much as you want as soon as you swipe into the dining area. You have a choice between a hot meal to gluten-free to pizza, salad, hamburgers, and sandwich bars. Then saving some room for dessert, you have a whole back wall dedicated to scrumptious desserts such as cake, Blue Bell ice cream, cookies dipped into chocolate, pies, cupcakes, and much much more! Not to mention the array of different fountain drinks, coffee, and tea!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Loyola University New Orleans is located in, obviously, New Orleans! There is a wide range of things that you can do in the city and on campus! I normally like to go sight seeing and experiencing the amazing Audubon Park and Audubon Zoo that is literally a street away from the university. Every third Friday on campus, University Programing Board also hosts many events from live concerts, to Glow-in-the-Dark Volleyball games, to off campus excursions such as going to watch the new Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2 Premiere and hosting Swamp Tours for the students of Loyola! There is so much to do for fun on campus, every student deserves to have a little fun here and there.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
This tradition I absolutely love. It's called Sneaux and as the city of New Orleans know, we do not have the pleasure of experiencing snow so Loyola University hosts their annual Sneaux event for the students of Loyola as well as the community. University Programing Board of Loyola University puts on music, has food booths (making Smores, hot chocolate, cake, etc.), giving away free t-shirts, and even having a Santa Clause!
