Loyola University Maryland
“Loyola University Maryland is a great school andQuite BrightAccounting
Loyola University Maryland is a great school and I would recommend it to prospective high school students. Since it is a small school, you get more interaction with your fellow classmates and professors which requires more active participation but it allows you to build stronger relationships with people. The academics are good here and could be challenging at times.
Loyola is a bar school, which means that you will have to get a fake id if you want to go out and do anything remotely fun on the weekends. Of course there other things to do but not most of the time. This school has no frats or sororities so there are no parties on campus. The school is very cliquey which is annoying because once friend groups are established they aren't going to let you into it. I know many people who transferred because they did not like the people and were not fitting in. I too know people who got kicked out for doing poorly academically so it is important to keep your grades up as well to stay here. In the end I wish I did think more wisely about my college choosing decision but I wouldn't leave because it is a good school and there are ways to involve yourself and meet new people if you put the effort in.

“Loyola University is a great school to goBrightBiology
Loyola University is a great school to go to. Everyone here is friendly and approachable and when you are on campus you automatically feel at home. However, this school is a bar school and a high school student should know that if you are planning on going out you should have a fake id. There are obviously other things to do other than drink but if you do plan to drink it will most likely not be on campus. It is such a welcoming school that really is looking out for your best interest and how you can succeed in life!

“I would consider myself a pretty bright kidQuite BrightUndecided
I would consider myself a pretty bright kid (i.e 3.57 GPA and 1820 on SAT) and to be honest I think coming here was a mistake. First of all, the dorming isn't all its cracked up to be and as a matter of fact some of the other schools I looked at had much nicer dorms. The kids are okay but they seem to be very cliquey. Also, the majority of kids are focused more on the bar scene here at Loyola than the actual academics. The academics here are good but they are nothing to rave about.
The school is not worth the enormous price tag and here are some of the reasons why. The school is good in name only. They make it seem that they have a very competitive system of getting in meanwhile they offer an SAT optional admissions platform and have roughly a 63% acceptance rate.
Lastly and most importantly for prospective class of 2019 and transfer students. If you want any aspect of a social life you will need a fake id. granted I decided not to get one but I have also chosen not to participate in the Thursday - Sunday weekly bar going. If this is your thing and you maybe even already have a fake id, you will probably enjoy it here but if you have no intentions of doing drugs or drinking copious amounts of Alcohol I would advise against coming to Loyola.To sum it up, Loyola seems to have good academics but they are not as good as you may think. It's also a living cliche of a bar school and the weekends are boring unless you are participating in them. It takes a certain kind of person to be able to attend this school and I would advise that you assess yourself before making the decision to come here, even if it is the best school you got into or the school that offered you the most scholarship money.
