I went on a visit to Loyola this past month and it was spectacular! The student guide was able to give a great tour of the campus and we were able to speak with people in Admissions that were able to answer all my questions regarding dorm life, classes I would be taking, and possible opportunities outside of college and past graduation. Going during class hours helped me see and witness what the students on campus are like and how they go on with their day, whether it be staying on the main campus, studying or taking a shuttle to the Water Tower campus in downtown Chicago. I hope to see myself there soon!
Loyola University Chicago has nice lakeshore and downtown campuses. The lakeshore campus has 3 dining halls to choose from open from 6AM-10PM (depending on the day and hall). The food is not very good, and the fruit in several halls have had bugs in it.
I have taken a J-term trip to Israel and I loved it! I plan to go to the Rome campus this spring. The school has been helpful in studying abroad.
Almost all of my teachers have PhDs and are very knowledgable on their subjects. My largest class has ~260 people (honors lecture) and my smallest class had ~25 people.
The honors program is not worth it unless you are willing to put in a lot of work. You will make great connections with faculty, but you are required to live in the worst dorm freshman year, have courses that are exponentially harder than any other courses, and learn a lot of knowledge that can not be applied in the real world.

I love Loyola Chicago! I'm a sophomore and I have had such a great time so far. Not every dorm building is the nicest but there are some that are either currently being renovated or being constructed. The food is also not bad, it's not gourmet but it's good for dining hall food. The area is one of the safest neighborhoods in Chicago but it's still crucial to be aware of surrounding since it's still an urban setting. All in all, it's a great place to live!
