August 24th, 2009 by Brendan KeatingLoyola alumni from all walks of life give current students the lowdown on what things to see, do, and experience this year at Loyola. From watching a sunrise at Madonna della Strada to planning a study-abroad adventure, these are the 10 things every Loyola student has got to do before the last final in April.
What do you think is the top “must do” at Loyola?

spend at least one of your years at Loyola living in a dorm room or apartment with a lake view. I did my junior year and I still fantasize about waking up to the lake every day!
also, if you normally go home for it, spend at least one summer living in Chicago. enjoy the beach, festivals, warm weather, new people.
lastly, get off campus once in awhile – either through a job, a volunteer opportunity, etc – make friends with some Chicagoans who are not Loyola students, or students at all. you’re in a diverse, world class city. you’ll appreciate seeing other perspectives.
ahh, I miss Loyola. I’m jealous of the alumni who now work at Loyola!

Definitely spend a semester in Rome. It was unforgettable that will stick with you for your entire lifetime.

Spend a semester in Italy at Loyola’s Rome Campus on Via Massimi. It is an unforgettable life enriching experience. One that you carry for your entire life.
Study by the lake and have a picnic on campus with your friends. We used to do that! Loyola has a gorgeous campus.
Go to Heartland Cafe and Ennui on Lunt; visit No Exit Cafe on Glenwood and the Centerline Theater for live theatre. Also Panini Panini was a place I would always bring new friends to meet and chat. They are all still there!
