Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Loyola is not a big, rich, state-run university, but thanks to numerous alumni donations, its facilities are turning out to be as nice as many state schools. The campus is in the middle of renovations, and while some buildings such as Mundelein and the Quinlan Life Science Building are state-of-the-art, others such as Damen, Cudahy, and Dumbach look as if they haven’t been touched in 20 years. Athletically, the gyms are small and crowded during peak hours, and the wait times for some exercise machines can get long in the late afternoon. With the Halas Sports Center, Information Commons, and even the dining halls, timing becomes key—visiting these locations at off-peak hours significantly increases your chances of a good experience.

Aesthetically speaking, Loyola’s buildings on both campuses, with a few notable exceptions, are architecturally magnificent. Many students cite the ivy-covered red brick walls of Dumbach and Cudahy Halls as main factors in their decision to come to Loyola. The University simply has an inviting look to it, something that marks it as a tranquil haven in the middle of bustling city life.

Campus Facilities

There are many available campus activities and organizations which is great especially as a freshman. There is always something going on in the student center and it remains very active. While the gym facility is decent, it is under construction and will be wonderful when finished. My favorite part of campus is the information commons (library). It is so big and there is always a spot to sit and study. It also looks over lake Michigan, so it is a beautiful view and a great place to relax in between classes.

Not Bad

They are clean and seemingly up to date... sometimes stuff like the drinking fountains has issues. We're getting some brand new buildings which are under construction, which is annoying to navigate around if you're a current student. Lots of religious symbols around the campus as well.

Facts

Favorite Things To Do

When students aren’t studying, most can be found meeting friends in Rambler Room, Zip’s Lounge, or either of the coffeehouses. While not many students frequent the movie nights at Damen Hall, they frequently congregate around either of the bars or disperse throughout the city. As the weather warms up, more and more of the student body can be found walking through Rogers Park or on the beach of Lake Michigan.
