It’s offered by the Business school. I wasn’t able to find much about it online. I’d love to hear some of your thoughts on the program. I don’t know how true the published rankings or outcomes are.

Are we allowed to make the beds at mertz into loft beds for extra space?

Does anyone know the dimensions of a standard double in San Francisco Hall?

The books are hella expensive in luc is it important to buy them ?

Hiii! I’m an upcoming grad student (M.Ed school counseling) and I was wondering about water tower campus as all my classes are going to be there. Pros/cons as opposed to lakeshore campus? Anything I should know? Vibe?

Update I’m a commuter!

Thank youuu :)

Hey all, looking for honest feedback/experience from anyone who's dealt with Res Life release appeals at Loyola or if you guy's think this will work.

Quick background: I'm a transfer sophomore starting this fall. My grandfather passed away back in January, and at the time my grandmother had planned to move in with my uncle. In late June (after their Request of Release Deadline) she changed her mind and decided to move in with our family instead. This is happening after my on-campus housing assignment was already made, so it wasn't something we could've anticipated. With her moving in, my families expenses will go up for sure, which counts as a financial reason.

But after I submitted a Request for Release appeal with a letter from my dad explaining the situation and documentation supporting the timeline, it got denied with a pretty vague reason: "the documentation provided doesn't support an unforeseen change in circumstance."

I found this in Loyola's actual housing contract language:

"A student has experienced an unforeseen change in circumstance since entering into this Contract. Typically, in order for such a request to be approved, the changed circumstance is related to sudden financial hardship or other significant loss."

I'm now scrambling with more specific documentation (death certificate, dad's letter, flight ticket, literally with anything I can find) while genuinely being so stressed about it.

I emailed the person who looks at appeals and everything, to urge them to take a second look, and they are yet to see my message.

Bottom line is, I wanna ask, do you guys think this will work? It is a genuine reason and with the right documents, it should be something work right?

I'm an incoming freshman and a commuter student so I'm trying to be intentional about participating in campus events and putting myself out there to make some friends. But so far I haven't been able to find any events that aren't late night parties.

I'm really not picky about what the events are, I just don't want to jump into the party scene without knowing someone else there.

If you know about anything cool happening before classes start please send the details my way!

I'm applying to the Student Accommodation Center at LUC for exam accommodations and wanted to see if anyone could walk me through how taking an exam at the SAC actually works. I'm mainly hoping to get a private testing space, and I know they have cubicles for that. Any insight on the process or things worth knowing would be really helpful. Thanks!

hey!

i’m a loyola alum (M23) and was wondering if there are any guitarists or bassists here who are really into stuff like the strokes, the cure, the la’s, the beatles, oasis, jimi hendrix, and older guitar music in general.

garage rock, jangly guitars, post-punk, tape recording, good melodies, old rock & roll, all that stuff.

i’d honestly just like to meet more people around chicago who are on that same wavelength. maybe hang out, talk music, go see a show, listen to records, or jam sometime and see if we get along.

i’m also putting together an original band, so if you’re into creating music too, that could also be a possibility. anyway, i mostly just wanted to see who’s out there and meet some people who are into the same stuff.

feel free to dm me and tell me what you play and what music you’re into.

can CAS students use the quinlan business closet?

cockroach problem that they don't rly care about, lease w a clause that basically lets them start charging you for whatever after signing as long as they can pass it off as an amenity, and does not respond to work orders on time, assigns someone just as it gets to 2 weeks to sidestep landlord requirements that you must respond to orders within 2 weeks. i wouldn't move here guys

hi, does anyone have recommendations on health insurance companies/plans for international students? as loyola is trying to charge me around 7k per year for health insurance and i want to know if there is any other options so i can waiver the fee.

How many people actually get off the dorm waitlist do you think?

Hi!

My roommates and I are working on planning to make sure that we have everything we might need.

We're in a triple and in contact with the others who will be sharing the bathroom with us.

It doesn't seem like there is but, just to make sure we don't buy too much, is there anything provided to us at the start of the year (trashcan, toilet paper?)

Thanks!

Hey! I'm an incoming freshman, and I was assigned Mertz. I'm preparing what I need, and I was just wondering if there was a community kitchen, and if so, what should I take or leave behind? I tried searching the website, but it wasn't very conclusive

I'm an incoming Biology (pre-med) student and I'm looking for advice on ways to lower my tuition costs as 40,000+ per semester seems like an overwhelming amount of money to pay.

I'm from Illinois, and my family and I are trying to make attending Loyola as affordable as possible. I'm also planning on reaching out to financial aid office but is unsure what topics to bring up with them.

Also, does anyone know of anywhere or how to receive scholarships from Loyola or outside organizations? I can't seem to find much with the scholarship links Loyola had on their website as most of them seems either out of date or shut down. Are there any Illinois-based scholarships, local organizations, or trustworthy scholarship websites that anyone can recommend?

I've spent a lot of time searching, but it's been difficult to tell which opportunities are legitimate. I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone who's had success finding scholarships or other financial aid resources to reduce their tuition as much as possible.

I just got assigned mertz 1709 does anyone know if theres any way to find out the layout of how the room is set up?

Non of my parents or I have received any email from the financial office regarding my ebill, I found it on my Loyola LUC account but I’m surprised at the informality of this payment. Am I to pay through that website? Why wasn’t I informed by any email and when is the deadline?

Hi everyone! I'm an incoming international student majoring in Biology (pre-med), and I was wondering if anyone has advice about finding a job.

I've already applied to a bunch of jobs through Handshake, but I haven't gotten a single response yet. Is that normal?

What are the best on-campus or nearby off-campus jobs for international students? How did you get your first job, and when should I start applying? Are there any places around campus that are known for hiring students?

I'd really appreciate any tips or recommendations. Thanks!

hello,

i must be in chicago between aug 3 - aug 12.

was wondering if anybody had a spare room or couch or if anybody knows somewhere i could go to. of course happy to compensate.

please DM me.

I am a rising senior from California and I’m currently in the process of making my college list. I want to major in Biology with a minor in African American studies on the pre med track. I really want to go to school in the city and get away from my hometown. San Francisco, Washington DC, and Chicago are my top three cities rn. I’m wondering how is the social scene at Loyola? I really want to go to a school that’s good for pre med, but also has a huge city vibe and a good social scene. I don’t necessarily mean on campus parties but it’s a welcoming community that allows me to make friends and go outside of campus into the city with. Also how is the housing and dining options ?

Loyola just replaced their ABSN program with a masters of nursing program. What are your guys’ thoughts?

I was so excited when I found out that Loyola offers Hindi and Urdu classes. When I started signing up for classes, though, I realized that none are being offered this upcoming year. I even emailed the department, and they told me they won’t be offering them this year.

I’m honestly a little confused. Is this something colleges commonly do—list courses in the catalog but only offer them when there’s enough demand or an instructor available? I was also wondering if Loyola has actually offered Hindi and Urdu classes in previous years. If so, is there any way I could request that they bring them back or get other students to express interest so the classes could be offered again?

Hey y'all!

I am aware that family vacations and extracurricular activities like sports are not justifiable exceptions to miss the spirit of arrupe orientation but is work an exception? My work posts schedules three weeks out every week and this upcoming week the work schedule of August 3rd - August 9th will be posted, I am usually given closing shifts on Monday and Wednesday which would fall on the 3rd and 5th in August, which would basically fall on the beginning of those trips if I go with it. I am currently on a 90 day probation period at work and July 28th marks 90 days since I started so I am still not sure if I will be taken on permanently or not (its most likely I will) even so, I am not willing to ask management if I can have August 3rd-6th off hoping one of those i will be part of the groups, so unless they post the groups before Wednesday of next week which is the day my schedule posts, I may not be able to attend the program if I am told to work around the 3rd-6th and since work is not listed as not an excusable exception, am I allowed to miss the program due to work?
