Loyola College, MD


Loyola Is a beautiful nurturing jesuit college nestled right outside of Baltimore, that strives to develop the whole person intellectually, socially, emotionally and spiritually.  Students rave about the knowledge, ability and generosity of the professors.  They also point to great opportunities for research and work-study. The most popular majors are business and education.The administration also gets rave reviews for their efforts to openness and desire to provide the best for its students. 
Life is described as balanced even though the preponderance of time is spent on academics.  Students seem to successfully juggle, social life, academic responsibilities, community service, athletics and more.  Loyola students are well rounded and outgoing.  Given its location, most students come from the east coast, particularly, NY, NJ and Philly though the goal and trend to to broaden.  On the whole students tend to appear preppy and come from middle to upper class backgrounds.
One final bit of insight, grades appear more important than test scores and the more recent the grades the more important they are.  Also the school pays attention to who visits and the extent of communication with perspective students.
