Loyola University New Orleans is a great place to receive online education. I have not visited campus since I live in another state and all my classes are online, but I still receive notifications for safety concerns on and around the campus. This is very useful for when I am required to visit campus in the future in case their are street closures, weather concerns, or safety concerns on or near campus. My professors have all been amazing and seem to be truly concerned with helping their students reach their goals and succeed in their coursework. The professors, counselors, program directors, etc. have all been good in their communication and availability when needed. I would recommend attending this university to anyone looking to further their education!
My experience at Loyola University New Orleans was truly transformative. The university's strong commitment to academic excellence, social justice, and community engagement left an indelible mark on my college years. The diverse and inclusive community at Loyola fostered meaningful connections and friendships. The Jesuit tradition of education instilled in me a deep sense of purpose and ethical values. The vibrant city of New Orleans provided a unique backdrop for my academic journey, with its rich cultural heritage and opportunities for personal growth. Loyola's emphasis on community service allowed me to give back and make a positive impact. Overall, Loyola University New Orleans provided not just an education but a holistic and enriching experience.
Loyola University New Orleans is, for me, then place where new experiences are formed. My first years there was a little roller coaster because of multiple factors. First, I am from another country, therefore the cultural and education system shock was a big thing. I met a lot of people and learned so much from the amazing, well-prepared professors. The institution is small, therefore the personalized education is real. Nonetheless, with being a small private school, one would think that communication with the administration is a smooth ride. Honestly, it was not. I had to consistently be on everyone's back to make sure that my financial aid and the payments where being processed and that it was what I signed up to get and pay. In summary, this institution will open your eyes to a new and fruitful way of learning and you will make a lot of connections. However, administratively, it can use some work.
