The essence of a Jesuit education at Loyola University Maryland
The Jesuit experience is a highly personal, life-altering journey that you and your peers experience together. It’s both highly structured and free wielding, grounding and elevating. It takes you to the far reaches of your intellect and imagination, while at the same time preparing you to formulate practical solutions to authentic problems in the world.
None of this comes easily...
You will put every fiber of your being into the search for truth and understanding. You’ll ask difficult questions and learn how to pursue honest answers. You’ll engage fiercely with your studies and openly with your classmates, your professors, your community—and yourself. You’ll bring a level of sincerity and energy to your class discussions, assignments, and personal examinations that you never have before. You’ll leave your comfort zone and never look back.
