Coffee on the go
If someone would have told me what a workout it would be to commute from my hometown to Loyola, I would have chosen to commute a long time ago! (jk, living on campus is much more fun!). Apart from the fact that my commute is only a two and a half hour commute, I have to say that I really enjoy it…as long as I have my Starbucks.
Yes, I’m that girl: “May I have a grande green tea latte with nonfat and two pumps of classic.” However, to all of my commuters if you ever catch yourself leaving Union Station or Ogilvie Station you need to stop at THIS particular Starbucks on LaSalle St. right next to the Quincy Stop. I’ve ran into many Loyola Alumni; I have conversed with business women, doctors, and professors. This is networking at its finest! I’ve actually met a professor who teaches at a graduate school I am interested in.
Anyhow, this is not a place to sit and drink your coffee since it gets very crowded from 5-9am. Due to its popularity, mistakes occur but if they mess up your order, you might get a free goodie! If you are ever downtown with friends, check it out! You’ll be amazed at how many people you meet in less than 30 minutes.
