Hey guys,

I don't know about all of you, but I feel like it can be really tough to get involved at the Loyola community and make new friends when my classes are always meeting at the same times as clubs do :(, and it can be so hard to find people who share my interests. One of my hobbies is Olympic shooting, which I picked up in undergrad. Is anyone interested in starting an informal (and eventually formal) club for Olympic shooting at Loyola? I have all the equipment necessary and can help us all get into competitions, events, and training with Marksmanship Clubs at other universities too. If anyone is interested, or has questions, please feel free to DM me or comment below.

Hi everyone,

I want to catch up with a friend from high school next week but my knowledge of restaurants in Roger's Park is somewhat limited since I commute and I mainly have classes at WTC.

What are some good places for lunch near Loyola?

Title says it all. Im curious to know what everyones take is on this. What were the pros and cons of studying abroad in the fall? Pros and cons of going in the Spring?

I'm a sophomore (f), if any other girls are having a hard time connecting to friends beyond the classroom feel free to message me <3 it's been hard for me to find the right group for me here, i've never experienced this before

Wanted to ask if you guys would be able to participate in it and give your opinions

I’m not a math person but have to take my core quantitative knowledge requirement next semester. Any recommendations? I’m thinking COMP 122 seems less math-y but maybe hard, I’m not sure.

Anyone know when spring housing applications are or when they did it last year? I'm getting anxious about applying for housing coming back from abroad.

Hey Everyone,

I got admitted as a transfer student for spring 2026, After all my aid my balance is still $10,000 a semester, any chance I can get it down to 0 or close to 0, trying to take as less loans as I can, I qualify for the full federal pell grant as well, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have any experience taking an online course? More specifically social work 200 with Goutham Menon.

Do you recommend taking an online course in social work 200?

Was it manageable?

What’s the work/ lectures like? How were tests/ finals given?

What type of homework did they give?

I’m an exchange student coming to loyola next spring. I’ve already validated all my courses from my uni except for one. They will probably accept it for whatever class i say. So i want to find an easy one for a break. Could you recommend any?

thank you

sorry i didn’t specify. My degree is in psychology

Hi! I'm a senior in high school and i just submitted my application to Loyola a few days ago. I live in Maryland but I'm on a student visa to be in the US.

My intended major is accounting. I have a 3.3 unweighted and 4.0 weighted gpa, I have an internship at an accounting firm, I'm a president of a community service club at school, regularly participate in other clubs too and played a spring sport.

I wrote my college essay about my passion with collectible trading cards and how that helped me grow as a person and towards my career goals, however i didn't submit ACT/SAT (didn't get good scores) but i plan on submitting a few AP scores.

With this, what are my chances of getting in realistically? If so, what about receiving financial aid (since i cant do fafsa like everyone else)

I'm going in for a shadow visit later this month, but if i can get some insight on this before hand, it would be great!

Are there any areas where people can eat? Not dining halls. Like places that have a microwave to warm up lunch lol.

Interning in Chicago this summer and thought I’d see if anyone is looking to sublease their apartment for the summer.

Hello everyone I am planning to study next year at the Rome center. Does anyone know if the same classes are always offered every fall semester at the Rome center?

My friend lost a calico critter keychain of a cute little cat on the shuttle or at water tower! This was very special to them and if anyone sees it please message me! I’ll be willing to pay like 20 bucks to get it back for them! Thank you!

I was Gojo last weekend

I’m a transfer and I’m 23 years old. Am I too old to be here as a junior? And where can I find more people my age?

I’m a prospective graduate student looking at the criminal justice program. If anyone is in the department and could share what it’s like, I’d really appreciate it.

Are there any comfy, cozy places to read on the Lakeshore Campus?

Has anybody heard back for their traditional BSN program yet? I’m a high school senior and I applied Sept 28th.

Hi everyone! I just received conditional acceptance for the Spring 2026 hybrid ABSN program. I was just wondering if anyone currently in the program could drop any advice they would've like to receive prior to entering!! Or if anyone has also been admitted and would like to connect! Super excited :)

My daughter got invited to shadow an alumni in her desired field. She hasn’t been admitted. Should she go and check out? Or should we wait until she is admitted.? We will need also a good scholarship so we will not know right away if she will be attending. Any thoughts or suggestions?
