I had a great experience at Loyola. The people are great (surround yourself with people you want to be around!), the facilities are top notch, the food choices are good if you make an effort to look around and the atmosphere is always positive and conducive to learning. The academics at Loyola are rigorous and you must stay on top of your game to earn a competitive GPA. Loyola students work hard and play hard!
The only downside to Loyola is that the school is expensive and the majority of "parties" are off-campus bars/clubs which can also become an expense.
Diversity at Loyola is solid...could be better but the dedicated and newly expanded multicultural center is a melting pot for people of all different minority races.

I’m a freshman and was between here and a larger more well known school. I picked Loyola due to the speech and language program and small class sizes. The campus is beautiful but the area around us is bad. I didn’t let that sway my decision because security are fantastic and most of the colleges I looked at were in bad neighborhoods. What I’m unhappy about is that the student body is so cliquey! Worse than my HS! Yes, the students are friendly but they find their friends in the first week or two and than your left with no one.Social life is off campus at the bars - get a fake ID. They try to have events but some of them are lame. I wish they had shuttles to go to the mall or target once a month. It’s def an Uber school. I like my classes and my professors, but the social life is the negative. My roommate stinks and told me she doesn’t want to be friends with me, my RA is nice , but hasn’t planned one event. I’m considering transferring which is a big bummer.
Loyola Maryland is an excellent university with regards to the education. The professors are outstanding and always willing to help, and I have yet to meet anyone on the campus who is anything short of happy. From dining hall staff to maintenance employees in the residence halls, everyone at Loyola is friendly. The overall spirit at the school is amazingly positive, and everyone goes above and beyond to help you. However, the social life is not the easiest to transition into, which is why I am rating 4 stars instead of 5. There is not much happening on campus, and while off campus is where the primary social scene takes place, it would be nice to have a mix of both. Not having Greek life can also be a positive or a negative depending on how it is looked at, and a lack of major sports like football can create a different college experience than one that is anticipated. Overall, the school is beautiful and the education is amazing, but the social life is not the traditional experience.
