College Prowler Take
GQ is definitely not knocking down the doors to get to Loyola’s guys, and you won’t see the girls on the cover of Cosmopolitan. Still, the campus overall is a fairly attractive one. The problem is that for most of the year, Loyola students hide their most attractive features with scarves, gloves, and long underwear. You would think that any piece of uncovered flesh would immediately turn to ice and fall off, which could theoretically happen in Chicago’s frigid winter. The trick is to get people out of their cold weather clothes. Then they’re hot. The best part about students is that they all come from different social and economic backgrounds, making it very likely you’ll find someone to curl up by the fire and drink hot cocoa with on a cold night. Students are not at Loyola because they wanted to have fun while at college. The University does not have the academic prestige of Harvard, nor does it challenge the party reputation of places like Indiana University. Loyola is somewhere in between. Students find a way to blend academic prowess with having a good time. Most students do not go around looking to get laid, but people can let themselves go when the right party arises.

The most frequent complaint heard by the girls is that ‘he’s either not cute, gay, or taken.’ Most of the cute girls already have boyfriends, but I guess that’s because they’re cute. |

The girls, frankly, stink. There are no knock-outs, but most of them act like they are. A lot of the girls have crabby, selfish personalities and drink way too much, way too often. Most of them are teases. I’m one of them. |

There are lots of hotties on campus; check out Hamilton’s on a Thursday night, and you’ll see what I mean. |

FactsBirth Control Available?
No - As a Catholic university, Loyola does not support any kind of birth control other than abstinence. Loyola does offer free STD screenings.
Social Scene
Pretty much everyone finds it initially difficult to start conversations when faced by the daunting task of entering the college social scene. Any level of aloofness is quickly rendered tricky to maintain when you are thrown into dorm life, however. Even students who find social interaction difficult are drawn into interacting with other students at this generally gregarious campus. It is sometimes hard to get people to branch out beyond their particular groups once they become entrenched in them.
Hookups or Relationships?
The first month or so of school will be your chance to get to know more people than you ever knew existed in the world. That said, there will be a lot of people out there looking for that special someone. Once the school year really gets rolling, however, many students begin to focus more and more on their studies, and relationships fall to the wayside. For girls, the numbers are certainly against you; all the guys may be taken by mid-November. Around finals time, everyone gets a little bit frustrated, so that may just be your lucky time of year.
Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls
Loyola is not a party school by any means, but that doesn't mean that students don't like to go out. Exhibit A to this hypothesis is Thursday night at Hamilton's Pub. The otherwise only reasonably busy establishment becomes packed wall-to-wall with students, particularly freshmen, sophomores, and all those upperclassmen who are not yet sick of pushing their way through this human meat market. Hamilton's can be a lot of fun on any night, and an unhealthy amount of people meet their significant others there. If the bar is just not your style, it is perfectly possible to meet people around campus. Some students just roll out of bed and go to class in their pajamas, but a large percentage of students dress to the nines. There are few better ways to get to know that hot girl in your biology lab than to invite her over for a pre-exam cram session. Also, most Loyola dorms are coed, so great guys and girls could be little more than a floor away from you.
Dress Code
NCAA Division I sports may not be popular at Loyola, but the student body is a fairly athletic one all the same. You see a lot of sporty looking people walking around, wearing baseball hats, soccer jerseys, and exercise pants. At the Water Tower Campus, students mostly dress business casual, with khakis, button-down shirts, blouses, and skirts being standard. At the Lake Shore Campus, people like to look nice while staying comfortable. Most kids are gigantic fans of blue jeans, polo shirts, and hooded sweatshirts. Around finals time, this all changes, and slippers and sweat pants come into fashion.
