College Admission at Loyola

Coming from Southern California there is one thing I truly look forward to every year in the Midwest. The Fall Colors! The oranges, the reds, the browns, it is all so beautiful and different.

After almost two months since leaving for school, fall break finally gave me the opportunity to travel back to my hometown. This break always comes at a genius time, when I physically can’t pull any more all-nighters, I crave my mom’s home-cooking all day long and most of all I miss my family and friends. [...]

I love living in the city. I would not trade living in the city for anything. I can not get enough of city life! Get the picture? I LOVE living in Chicago. Once in a while, however, when school is stressful and life gets crazy, getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life [...]

So for the past month, I have spent A LOT of time on the road and living out of a suitcase for fall travel, recruitment to various high schools and college fairs around Indiana & Illinois.

The title of my “return to school” blog has been taken from To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. For one of my best friends and I, this quote has became the unofficial motto of every summer since our senior year of high school. It’s also completely true. Because while I love the hustle and [...]

Happy fall! What’s not to love about this time of year? Students are back on campus, the summer heat is slowly disappearing, pumpkin spice lattes are back at Starbucks and it’s travel season for Admission Counselors! This will be my first travel season and I’m ready to hit the ground running after weeks of phone [...]
