College Admission at Loyola

So if you’ve been to the LUC homepage, or really any site that has anything to do with Loyola, then you are well aware of the fact that Loyola  hosted the Dalai Lama reccently.  Yesterday, on top of the fact that it was my very last day of classes of my undergrad career, I got [...]

Earlier this week, I made the spontaneous decision to give up diet soda. We’re on the precipice of finals week, so I still needed to stay awake well into the night. In order to accomplish this, I switched to drinking caffeinated tea. So, for a few days, I essentially became a compulsive tea drinker. On Monday night, [...]

This year I was assigned to Fordham Hall with the same roommate from my freshman year. We lived on the 12th floor with a great view of the city! We always enjoyed watching the sun rise and watching the sun set on clear days. The hues of the sky relax us from our stressful days [...]

Twice a year, or each semester, the school holds a block party for the Water Tower Campus. They shut down the intersection of Wabash and Pearson.  It’s pretty great.  Normally, they grill out, have dessert, have a band and some promotional stuff.  This semester, however, they really came through with great vendors.  Along the sidewalks [...]

This past weekend was the first time I have attended the Weekend of Excellence. The many awards ceremonies and celebrations that Loyola University Chicago holds recognizes students that have been active leaders on our campus. I was fortunate to be nominated for the Emerging Leader Award at the Diversity Awards hosted by the department of [...]

Being that I will have a year off between Dental school and Loyola I have put a lot of thought into the things I want to cross off my bucket list thatyear. And being that I am a poor college student in love with nature, I think my time might be best used in the [...]

In my experience, studying with friends yields the best results as far as actually getting stuff done.  But, I usually have a blast, which makes up for the fact that I still have a lot to do. Here is what usually happens. First you gather with friends in a lounge.  Then you casually play some [...]

I’ve lived downtown in Loyola’s Baumhart residence hall for almost nine months now. I have loved being on the Water Tower Campus right in the heart of the best city in the world. There are always glamorous people around and fun things going on downtown. Yesterday, however, I had my first celebrity siting EVER– some [...]
