Loyola University - Chicago

Students are totally just a source of money to them. Everything is super unorganized, especially all online resources, and most staff is pretty unhelpful for the most part.Going to school in the city is great, and my department is overall good. Other than that, I wouldn't recommend Loyola.

Okay let's be clear--every college has its ups and downs and loyola is no exception. However, I am a current junior here at the school. Let me just say the good about the school. The first thing you will notice is that it is a beautiful campus. I have had mostly good professors except for a few that made my day a living hell. I have met a lot of great people here as well. BUT the cost to attend this school is not worth it in my opinion and if i had to do it again, i would not come here. The campus is nice but it is always under construction. Do not come to a school bc it looks nice--learned that the hard way. I think their programs are ridiculous because to get into certain programs you need a certain gpa what kind bs is that? no other schools required a gpa when i did research on it. I really want to transfer but i do not know if it is worth it at this point. The thing that sucks about this school is that if you change your major you are royally screwed. I have meet tons of people that have to take summer classes or stay another year. Advisors will tell you to take classes that you don't even need or they will make you fall more behind. (talk to an older student in ur major---best advice right there) If you are a science major you are already behind in math and science. I am a science major and that is the majority of the students. However I am not premed. Trying to get into classes is a nightmare because they fill up so fast and many of the professors are just crabby old farts that want to just do research. These are the typical campus issues but there is one thing i think any prospective student should know----you don't get treated right at this school. I feel like i am treated as a money machine. Good luck trying to find a human to talk to in the offices that isn't a work study student. The school is mostly girls and I hate it not just bc I am a girl but most girls here are total b-----!!! or they are skanks. The guys here are jerks or they are gay. School spirit is a joke. Only come here is you want to be miserable for 4 yrs and feel like you didn't have a college experience compared to your hs friends that did. Ask most loyola kids and they will say they hate this school. Overall, please do me a favor and stay away from his money hungry school.
