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.

Recently, Loyola has been getting a face lift. New buildings dominate the campus, from the gorgeous, green Information Commons, to the newly built athletics center.

I first visited the Lake Shore Campus when I was a freshman at a different school. It was beautiful! I transferred to Loyola half way through my Junior year. Two and a half years later, and the campus is still riddled with construction. They build a new athletics facility, which is only for athletes. It looks nice from the outside, but it's pretty pointless. The IC has an amazing view. The actual "gym" has been downsized since I've been here, which is a shame. Basically, half the campus is closed off due to construction. Maybe someday they'll stop.

Excellent Places to Study

From the IC to the study rooms across Campus, there are excellent facilities. You just need to explore enough to find your place.
