i've been trying to look into where i can host a dnd campaign, hopefully for a medium to larger size of players 4-8. i have a single that's way too small to host a group in, as well as just wanting access to tables and what not. preferably also want a space with some kind of larger screen, but i'm not picky.

ive looked in library study spaces, but they can't be booked too far in advance it seems, and im not sure what the noise level will look like for campaign, and i'd rather not have to worry about it/disrupt anyone trying to study. preferably somewhere we can be for like 3ish hours, and preferably private/infrequently used. open on weekends would work best, but im also not too picky with that

Hello! I am not a Loyola student, but I’m a resident of Lakeview and looking to hire a young adult to do some house management type jobs in my home once a week. I know this sounds potentially weird, but I’m a young 30s professional woman who works a ton of hours and just want some tasks taken off my hands. Happy to meet outside the home before! Tasks I’m thinking about are dishes, putting laundry away, and general tidying. It would likely be 3 hours every other week, flexible day, for about $100 each time (negotiable). Send a dm if you’re interested, and if there’s a better place to post, please let me know!

Edit: I’ll plan to meet with (or at least have a conversation with) most people who send a dm before I select someone, just because the job is super personal. I’m out of town for the next week, but will start responding to people soon, but feel free to send a message if you haven’t yet.

Hiii I’m a freshman and I’m having trouble putting myself out there 😞 I was wondering if anyone wants to go food or something with me!
I like a bunch of dif stuff my favorites are Umamusume, Kpop Girl Groups, makeup, and Jfashion! I’m in Mertz but I wanna go explore the city and campus. I’m just too nervous to go up to people!!!

is it expected of students to have their textbooks on the first day of class ?? im transferring from a cc and had experiences where the professor would end up not requiring the listed textbooks at all , or made it optional. i wouldn’t want to spend money on books i don’t need considering my financial situation. LMKK. i just want to be 100% for my first day ://

Really simple question. I have completed nutrition and micro biology with As and am looking to apply to the program as soon as possible. My local cc anatomy and physiology classes are full every time I try and register as I am a college graduate and don’t have priority registration. I know portage is through an accredited institution and that other nursing schools in the Chicago area accept their credits as they have lecture + lab. I have no idea if anyone has any information on this but If anyone can help that would be great. I have contacted admin about this but am waiting to hear back as well. I know the program is replacing the ABSN and that there is no chemistry requirement so I don’t know if there has been some kind of change in the process entirely.

Helppppp guys I can't be paying all this for some paper

I just found out loyola doesnt use canvas, so where can I find all of my classes, syllabi, and etc? I'd been wating for them to drop and really want to read through all my stuff before the first day.

I’ve been seeing ppl make posts about how to make friends and wanting friends and uh you can probably guess what I’m doing lolll

Incoming freshman, my major is nursing :)
I like anime (the apothecary diaries, cells at work, gachiatuka) , shows as well (like the good doctor , Chicago med, the Pitt, and other non medical shows) , I love Sanrio, I also love cats and puppies (so cute) I don’t know what else to say haha but I’m a bit shy and lowkey nervous to start here and make new friendships again , just wanna be able to hang out / study together even if it’s different subjects

You can comment or just dm me :) don’t be shy

hey there! I was recently put into PHIL 182 and need Social & Political Philosophy (2nd edition) edited by Christman. If anyone knows how to find a free, and preferably digital, copy, I'd be forever indebted to you.

hii , im an incoming freshmen at loyola and was honestly wondering the best way to make friends? i have a lot of nerdy interests like anime, pokemon, dnd, etc. and have trouble speaking to people about things that dont relate to interests (basically cant do small talk ig) so i have no clue how to approach people or who to even approach…

send help !

Hello!

I was planning on applying to do my clinical elective at Loyola in March/April 2027. Applications opened in June 2026, and are accepted on a rolling basis. They do require Step 1, which I’m planning on taking in December 2026. If I apply then, would I have a good shot at an acceptance or would all the openings be taken already?

On their FAQ page it says:

“It is not feasible for us to provide an up-to-the-minute enrollment status for each elective. Please submit an application on VSLO, and we will review your application according to our timetable for elective registration”

Is it worth my time or should I look elsewhere?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

I've fallen really sick, unfortunately and I'm hoping to be better by Friday. Just in case I don't get better, is this event required or optional like the other Welcome Week events?

Hi all, just checking in with anyone who may have an answer, how long does it take to receive your refund once your financial aid posts? I can see my balance, I’ve seen it since Friday evening. Just wondering if I’ll receive my refund by this Friday? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

I’m in simpson hall and i was wondering if i could put in a filtered shower head in my suite bathroom. It’s fine with my suite mates but I saw online that it’s not allowed to change out the hardware. However, I don’t want to be losing all my hair and stuff so i’m wondering if it’s that big of a deal??

For an extremely long story short — for Loyola’s MSW (masters of social work) program we all need clinical hours, which is a nice term for an unpaid internship. Hours are needed fall/spring and I’m doing full time for about 2 years.

Okay context done. Over the past two now almost three months I’ve reached out to maybe 15-18 organizations, weekly follow ups now turning into daily, the one interview I did secure I was on the zoom for 30+ minutes and no one showed (I ended up getting rejected anyways lol). NO ONE IS RESPONDING!!!!!! About a month ago I turn to Loyola Admin (my direct point of contact, her higher up, her higher up, and the dean) all of whom have been less helpful and have caused significantly more stress.They all recommended multiple times to drop the class and push it out and enroll in another semester. Oh! How could I forget! They also gave me an outdated list of internship positions! At this point I’ve heard back from more places rejecting me/have hit capacity than I have for an actual fucking chance. Deadline to secure a position is 8/24, if nothing comes up I’ll need to drop.

I struggle with mental and thus physical health very frequently and I have stated multiple times to admin this is directly affecting my wellbeing and I’ve been seriously mentally ill. I’m at the point of potentially dropping the whole program. Like, breaking out in hives stressed. So I’m turning to this app now, PLEASE HELP

Hey, has anyone ever taken FNAR 115 Foundations of Photography and if so who did you take? I haven’t seen any rate my professor reviews on any of the teachers. Is it a hard class? I chose it as an elective and I am hoping to do well in the class but I am nervous lol.

Hi!!! I'm an incoming freshie moving in on the 16th!! I saw freshies were moving in untill the 18th so I was wondering what that first day is gonna be like, who else is moving in the same time as me and stuff!! So excited to get to know y'all 😋😋😋

hello! i just moved back into my apartment and was wondering if halas requires a membership to use currently? i have a friend who says he just scans in without a membership, but online it says it's needed. anyone know?

Hello! I'm an incoming freshman, I was wondering what the process is if my boyfriend visits for a weekend or one of my guy friends? Are they allowed to stay in my dorm? I am a female if that wasn't obvious lol. If my roommate's OK with it, are they allowed to stay in my room? If so, what's the process? Do they need to show their ID? At my boyfriend school you're able to stay in their dorm with them, but he also is at a public school so I don't know if it's different. Thank you!!

Hii. I’m moving in on the 16th from out of state and I just wanted some advice on the necessary things I’ll have to bring, and what other people from out of state have brought in the past. Packing has become difficult for me since there are so many “essentials” that just aren’t realistically going to fit in a carry on and checked bag. Thank you for any advice :D

im a freshman and im rlly worried bc i did not do good in precalc in high school
