Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Unknown  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright Loyola is overshadowed by the heavy hitters in town (Northwestern, DePaul, U of C), but it's a good, no nonsense university. It's run by the Jesuits, who do not brook the kind of foolishness that gets Northwestern into the news. When I went here, it was known for being one of the few schools in the country that was consistently in the black. Loyola now owns much of Rogers Park. Loyola used to be primarily a commuter school, but it has concentrated on attracting out of state students for the past 25 years. Because it's a smaller school, students actually get a better education than at a lot of other place. When I was a student, I never had a TA as a primary teacher. Actually, I only had one TA over four years, and that was in a large psychology class. On the other hand, when I went to grad school, at a larger university, undergrads were lucky to see a full professor, especially in their first two years. Excellent Law and Medical schools, on other campuses. Faculty Accessibility: A+, Perceived Campus Safety: B- Have a Question?

Coming to Loyola was one of the best decisions I ever made. They take to heart the concept of educating the whole person. As a business major, I not only took the standard business school classes, I also took very interesting and thought-provoking courses in philosophy, theology, women's studies, and art. As with any university, there are good professors and bad ones, people you'd love to strangle in Financial Aid, and the "birdie" classes you totally blow off. But Loyola boasts a tremendous amount of diversity, just look at where the Lake Shore Campus is situated. The diversity, the educational philosophy, location, and the financial aid are what put Loyola far above any other school I looked at. If you're a business major, the Business Career Center is a goldmine of opportunities. Taking everything into account, Loyola is worth every penny. The biggest controversies in the past four years: closing down the Science Library and converting it to a one-stop administrative center, Ann Coulter on campus, building over the Jesuit Residence & lawn, the TIFF money, and complaints from alumni that Loyola is getting too liberal.

I transferred twice before figuring out that Loyola was the place to be. I think it has something for everyone. It's perfect for anyone who wants to have a real life while in college.. not be trapped in some middle-of-nowhere party school. Education Quality: A+, Faculty Accessibility: B Have a Question?
