12 Reasons You Should Not Go To Loyola University Chicago
Loyola Mock Trial

Loyola University is a private university located on the north side of Chicago. With the new school year approaching, many incoming freshmen have made the final decision to attend Loyola in the fall. Although, if any of this list doesn't sit with you quite right, you might want to reconsider becoming a Rambler.

1. You hate being surrounded by one of the most beautiful campuses in the country.


Loyola has recently gone through some serious renovations. Between the new changes and the lakefront property, it doesn't get any better.

2. You don't want to have a campus feel in one of the best cities in the country.


As soon as you step on campus, you can't even tell that you're in the city.

3. You're offended by an obscene amount of rabbits.


Need I say more?

4. You don't want to study with a lake front view.


The IC! (Insert heart eyes here.)

5. You don't want to run into the cutest, most amazing nun in the world.


We love you, Sister Jean!!!!

6. You don't want to take classes at an awesome downtown location.


If you didn't know, we also have another campus downtown. It's pretty great.

7. You hate Wrigleyville and the Cubs, being that it's a short 15-minute drive away.


Go Cubs go!

8. You would rather eat McDonald's and Pizza Hut than amazing food like Bop N Grill, Nori and Pete's Pizza.


There are endless Roger's Park food options. If you hate food, this is not the place for you. We love our food.

9. You hate ALWAYS having a designated driver for nights out.


Bless you, Uber.

10. You don't want professors that care and actually know who you are.


I can't stress enough the importance of small class sizes in a big-university setting. Every one of my professors knows my name and it's amazing.


11. You don't want to go to a school that genuinely cares for social justice and equality.

Loyola works really hard to make improvements in regard to social justice, especially within our own academic community. If this isn't something that interests you, this is not the place for you.

12. And finally, you don't want to receive one of the best, most well-rounded educations at one of the best universities in the country.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

1. When you've finally found the energy to leave your dorm room and walk into the lib like

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
