What's your best piece of advice to an accepted student?

The stressful part is over and you made it! Enjoy this time of year. Be sure to visit as many schools as possible. It is the best way to decide if a school is for you. Don't be afraid to ask questions - college is an investment and you should feel free to ask away. Good luck and congratulations!

There are plenty of ways to get to know a school and get a feel for its campus if you aren’t able to visit.

What's it like to be part of a Jesuit community?

What's your favorite part about Baltimore?

Baltimore is a city rich with history and culture. It has the tall glass buildings and downtown area of your typical city, but it also has the small, charming neighborhoods that make it so accessible. From the Senator Theatre and restaurants of Belvedere Square, to the quirky colors of Hampden, to the cobblestone streets of Fells Point, to the B&O Railroad Museum in Pigtown—this city was made to be explored.

Why Loyola?

Loyola offers a phenomenal, Jesuit education in the city of Baltimore.

Let’s not forget campus life! 81% of our students live on campus all four years so there is always something to do from midnight breakfast to an athletic event.

What I recommend during your stay in Baltimore

There are so many things to do and see in Baltimore! From visiting the National Aquarium, located in our Inner Harbor, or cheering on the Baltimore Ravens or Orioles, we have it all! If you are looking for a great spot for lunch, try Nick’s Fish House – the crab is amazing!

Why Loyola?

Loyola is more than simply an education but also an experience through the number of opportunities for connection within the campus community, as well as the greater-Baltimore community. You are not just a student in the classroom during your time here, but you also have the opportunity to grow as an individual through the experiences at your fingertips. This could range from kayaking on an Outdoor Adventure trip, tutoring students at a local school, or navigating the streets of a city abroad. You do not graduate in four years with just a fantastic Loyola education, but also a meaningful Loyola experience.

What’s it like to be part of a Jesuit community?

A Jesuit community is built on the idea of inclusivity and focus on how each individual can have a pivotal and positive impact. Loyola community exemplifies this idea through its mission of cura personalis and an understanding that an education can be tailored to the individual and can be brought further into the world in a more wholistic way through hands-on experience and personal connection. Being a part of this community means being seen for one’s own worth, as well as have options for personal development and growth through education, reflection, and experience.

Why Loyola?

Being a part of Loyola means being a part of an incredibly welcoming and accepting community. Whether you are a student, faculty/staff member, or a visitor to campus, the positivity and warmth on campus is evident. There is a place to “fit in” for everyone here on this campus, and members of the community truly look out for each other… even if it just a stranger smiling at you or holding the door. While I was not an undergraduate student at Loyola myself, I am so happy to be a Greyhound!

What's your best piece of advice for a prospective student?

When prospective students think about the college application process it can be overwhelming and become very stressful. But you are not alone! Current students, admissions counselors, and financial aid counselors are real people who genuinely want you to be happy and successful in your college search, even if you do not end up attending their college. Do not be afraid to ask questions, ask for help, and dig deeper when exploring colleges—and remember to focus on the positive and exciting aspects of the process as you are about to embark on an exciting new chapter of your life!

Loyola’s unique first-year experience called Messina will not only help you transition smoothly from high school to college, but also help you learn more about who you are as a person. Using our Jesuit ideals as a foundation, Messina offers you academic and extracurricular support by providing a deeply dedicated network of peers and professionals. You’ll practice discernment on career goals, share laughs with your classmates, and spend time off campus getting to know our community.

What is your favorite thing about Loyola?

I love that Loyola is truly focused on making your experience personalized and unique to you. You’ll have countless opportunities to pursue classes that interest you, join clubs and organizations that fit your interests, and look for internships that meet your specific career goals. No two students will have the exact same experience here at Loyola. On top of that, I also love how dedicated our professors are to making sure their students succeed both in and outside of the classroom. Our professors have your best interests in mind, and that is reflected in all that they do.

What is your best piece of advice for a prospective student?

I always encourage students to get on-campus and visit as many schools as possible. This is the best way to help envision yourself on a college campus – seeing it in-person, having conversations with current students, and getting a sense of the overall feel of campus. If you’re not able to make it in-person, many schools will have virtual opportunities and workshops for you to explore. Whether you can check out a school in-person or through a virtual tour, it’s so important to get familiar with the schools you’re interested in and decide if it’s a good fit for you.

Why Loyola?

Founded in 1852, Loyola has a long history of academic excellence. Students who attend will be challenged intellectually and encouraged to build a worldview that will guide their actions long after they graduate – here, students are not told what to think, but rather taught how to think critically, create a system of values, and how to apply these values in their daily life. This educational philosophy is embodied in our motto “Strong Truths Well Lived.” The goal of a Loyola education is to prepare students not only for a career, but to equip our students for life.

What's your favorite thing about Loyola?

Loyola has a gorgeous, calm campus located less than an hour from D.C. that provides a great environment for study, and the fact that most students live on campus for their full degree program means that international students who attend will get a really authentic, traditional residential U.S. college experience. With stellar educational offerings, modern facilities, and fantastic placement after graduation, Loyola has a lot to offer students from all over the world!
