The Jesuits take education very seriously.

Coming to Loyola was one of the best decisions I ever made. They take to heart the concept of educating the whole person. As a business major, I not only took the standard business school classes, I also took very interesting and thought-provoking courses in philosophy, theology, women's studies, and art. As with any university, there are good professors and bad ones, people you'd love to strangle in Financial Aid, and the "birdie" classes you totally blow off. But Loyola boasts a tremendous amount of diversity, just look at where the Lake Shore Campus is situated. The diversity, the educational philosophy, location, and the financial aid are what put Loyola far above any other school I looked at. If you're a business major, the Business Career Center is a goldmine of opportunities.

Taking everything into account, Loyola is worth every penny.

The biggest controversies in the past four years: closing down the Science Library and converting it to a one-stop administrative center, Ann Coulter on campus, building over the Jesuit Residence & lawn, the TIFF money, and complaints from alumni that Loyola is getting too liberal.
