This is a good school where academics areQuite BrightEconomics
This is a good school where academics are concerned. However, there are drugs, alcohol everywhere on every floor. Campion building is noisy and people openly drink and do drugs. Seems the RAs are too scared to come out of their rooms. Kids to get drunk at city bars every night. The area outside is very dangerous. It's not easy to make friends. Most people are in cliques and just want to smoke weed. If I had a choice I would go elsewhere.

Question
The university itself means well.Quite BrightCommunications
The university itself means well. It really does; it fosters a program that encourages you to be the healthiest in all aspects of your life: mind, body, and spirit. The problem are the students that it attracts - for the most part they are rich, privileged, and close-minded. Of course there are amazing people there, but the general body is more concerned with petty things like what bar to go to on Friday night. The school can make some improvements with the activities available to the student body to socialize. Right now going to the bars 2-3 days a week is the reality for most students here. Though a college that wants you money, the school still is respectable and gives the education you need. Just make sure you surround yourself with good people.

Question
Loyola is a great school with a beautifulNot so brightAccounting
Loyola is a great school with a beautiful campus. You meet amazing people and the professors really are there to help, but it seems that the administration is only there to hurt you.

One tip: Do not attend this school if you expect to have the best 4 years of your life.
THERE ARE OTHER SCHOOLS THAT ARE JUST AS GOOD ACADEMICALLY AND MORE FUN!
The night life is terrible and one wrong thing you do you are immediately put on deferred suspension. I've contemplated transferring out since freshman year because I thought I was wasting my time. When it came time to my sophomore year, I began seeing the values that Loyola teaches through a few of my classes and started to really enjoy my time here. I have over a 3.0 GPA and on track to achieve dean's list for the second semester. I applied to go abroad because the University boasts so much about its abroad programs and it was something I really saw myself doing when applying to schools. I was accepted, then ran into a what would have been a little trouble at any other school, but at this school it was seen as a year and half of deferred suspension and a bunch of fines (because 50 grand isn't enough) and other restrictions. After I was accepted into the program and did everything I needed for the abroad process, I was EMAILED saying I have been removed from the program solely on the reason of me being placed on deferred suspension (instead of looking at the person I truly am). So now for Junior year I can't room with my friends due to the deadlines for room selection. So now, I will be living with random kids whom I most likely do not know and will be dreading my life here at Loyola until I graduate.

Oh and I was written up by RA's for wrestling with my roommate...probably going to get a fine for that too because 50 grand isn't enough.
