As a prospective student is was very easy to disregard the negative opinions and say college is what you make of it.

Most transfer students are unhappy, they describe the student body as close minded, not out going and snobbish. The kids at LUC believe they are better than everyone else. When asked about any stereotypes on LUC, answers include; smart, party school, cool kids, preps, prestige etc. How Modest right? The truth is that LUC will accept anyone that is willing to pay, (80% acceptance rate), has a total of two student bars (no dance floors), most students live in their dorm rooms, and personality-wise, if they aren't socially awkward they are liars with low self esteem.

The Dorms at LUC have insane restrictions. Quiet hours at 10, you have to register guests to get them past the gate keepers, you are limited to 2 guests a night and they can't stay past 1 am. This is the mindset of Loyola, you can't have a traditional college experience IE partying, hanging out with a group of friends etc.

I previously attended the University of Iowa and to be honest I wish I was still at the University of Iowa. Don't disregard me as a cry baby that can't fit in. Iowa is one of the 10 best party schools in the nation, and besides the out of state tuition I did perfectly fine. To the prospective students, if you still don't believe me, I can't really blame you. I read LUC's reviews, I made the same mistake and I am transferring next semester.

Uh, 80% acceptance rate? try 59.6% for the class of 2014. Loyola only accepts transfer students at a 55% rate. You should consider yourself lucky.

Newsflash to you LUC kids, You're not as special as you think you are. If you ever stepped foot in a big ten school you would realize how much time you've been wasting at LUC. Blow it.

^ No one at Loyola would ever speak like that. Case in point- go to a Big Ten school and wind up like this person.
comment^Your response highlights the kind of snootiness that would make you fit right in to Loyola. Case in point if you talk like the above poster go to Loyola.
responseIn 2011, it was a 54.9…I can't really see how it would have jumped up that high, and this is coming from someone who is not a Loyola fan.
commentOkay, I just looked at the site you gave and it didn't even say the percent of people admitted on that particular page. So, I clicked on "applying" and it says that 58% of applicants were admitted. The webpage you attempted to use to prove your point ended up contradicting you…..I am laughing at you right now!
