Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Business - Management and Administration  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Average Moving off campus before junior year proved to be my best move at Loyola! If you really want to experience everything the school offers, move out of the dorms. The school's administration tends to heavily stifle the student body on campus. While I enjoyed my first two years at school it was not until moving out the dorms that I began to experience what the school truly has to offer. Having to balance school with the added responsibilities of living off campus truly made me the embrace the work hard/play hard mentality that permeates the student body. It was my experience that those students living off campus become more of a college community because they experience more of an independent college experience together.

I did not know anyone on move in day but if you join clubs and talk to people on your floor, you will quickly find that everyone is friendly and sincere. I'll be the first to admit its very homogenous, but if you take the time to get to know other people, you'll find most people are driven individuals. You don't have to go out to the bars every weekend, there is PLENTY to do on campus or in the city of Baltimore to keep you busy. And there are PLENTY of other students who aren't going out to the bars everynight, you can always find someone to hang out with.

I participated in private studies, developed excellent connections with professors, and enjoyed a variety of history courses to choose from. I also had wonderful experiences with volunteer service. I graduated this past May, Cum Laude, as a member of two honor societies. The social dynamic at Loyola, however, disturbed me. I use such a strong word to describe the culture here, because it completely contrasted "cura personalis" and social justice; virtues which Loyola professes to have on an social level. On the surface, Loyola is very active in the community, providing student volunteers to various functions throughout the city of Baltimore. But it doesn't take a rocket scientist to recognize the lack of diversity within the student body, and the enormous sense of self-entitlement that students exhibit on a daily, often unconscious basis. As a previous student noted on this website, Loyola students are typically from the same private schools, recruited largely from NY, NJ, and PA. Social cliques are already developed, and extremely difficult to penetrate unless you more or less fit the "cookie cutter" of the socioeconomic background at Loyola - White uppermiddle class, private schooled, and from New England. Students quickly determine what YOUR background is, with a few innocuous questions. It also requires outings to sketchy bars off of York Road, and even then, it is not necessarily easy to blend in. As a transfer student and a commuter from Maryland, I found it extremely difficult to feel connected with others here - although I lived on campus for a year, I often felt isolated since I largely refrained from going out to the bars. I didn't have a fake I.D., and I never had an interest in obtaining one. Good luck fitting in, if you aren't comfortable conforming with the bar culture. I would describe the typical Loyola student as bright, eloquent, and slick. A social Chameleon; attends volunteer service project on Thursday, gets stoned on Fridays and Saturdays, then goes to Mass on Sunday. Judgmental, guarded, and presumptuous. Students are very intelligent and motivated; but they lack interpersonal skills. My grandfather was an English professor here, my dad was an undergrad. Loyola has and always will mean something to my family! But I think it lost something, somewhere along the way. Education Quality: A+, Social Life: D Have a Question?

I couldn't accept the 'bar school' social life at first, but eventually I slipped into it and really enjoyed myself. Highly recommend. Education Quality: A+, Useful Schoolwork: A Have a Question?
