April 20th, 2012
One of the trademarks of a Loyola education is a focus on social justice. On campus, you’ll find many initiatives where students can get involved, gain some hands-on experience, and make a difference through coursework, research, and student organizations.

It is Spring Break at Loyola this week but if you stopped into Felice’s on Tuesday, you wouldn’t have known it. The place was packed—and for good reason. [...]
Do colleges use Facebook when evaluating applicants?
March 2nd, 2012
I get asked this question by students probably more often than you think.

Here we are, at the start of February, and you’re admitted to some great schools. One of your next steps is to sign up for housing. And, like many next steps, questions abound: Who will my roommate be? To which residence hall will I be assigned? How do I weigh the options? This is a [...]
