College Admission at Loyola

One of the great things about Loyola is that they really encourage their students to study abroad. And many students do! Loyola makes it really easy to study abroad by providing a ton of information on their website and offering a lot of different study abroad options. We even have a campus in Rome, Italy [...]

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. This has led to quite a bit of reminiscing over my study abroad experience while I was a junior at Loyola University [...]

Celebrating Easter in the world capital of Catholicism was definitely something I can check off my bucket list.  Loyola had a bunch of tickets to go to St. Peter’s Basilica on Easter Sunday.  It was mass… with the pope!! Luckily, Father Al (one of the priests here at John Felice Rome Center) was generous enough [...]

This upcoming Easter weekend, my mom, dad, brother and sister are all headed over to Rome to visit me! I’m currently making a list of places for us to go/eat/sight see.  They’re coming for a week, and are hoping to make it to all Rome’s main attractions: The Colosseum, The Roman Forum, The Trevi Fountain [...]

While looking at my calendar, I saw that I had marked on this day, March 28th, “One month to go ”.  I can’t believe I only have one month left here in Rome! Time has flown by and I have enjoyed every single minute of my time exploring Europe. I will be very sad to [...]

I’ve been obsessively checking my mailbox for the past few weeks, since I knew a little package was coming for me from home.  Before I left for Italy, I ordered a few necessities online, and of course with my luck, they got to the States the day after I leave! So my lovely mother sent [...]

One of the main reasons I was ecstatic for Rome was the fact that the weather is significally warmer than Chicago.  I packed a light jacket and a light pea coat, not even considering there could be any weather colder than maybe mid forty or fifty degrees. Little did I know that I would need [...]

So since leaving Rome the one thing I have missed more than anything, is some amazing gelato. So here is my list of the best places in the city of Rome. 1. Gelateria del Teatro – By far the best Gelato in Rome! Location is simply amazing, located down a picture perfect roman alleyway. And [...]

It was weird coming home for winter break, because I knew wouldn’t be coming back to Chicago.  I’m studying abroad in Rome, Italy this semester, so it was crazy to think I’d be on another continent for the whole spring semester. Most of my break was spent preparing for Rome.  There’s so much you need [...]

In 2009 I started my attendance at Loyola completely unsure of what I wanted to do with my life. I knew I wanted to help people and I decided I would take advantage of every opportunity that was given to me. I came to Loyola for a number of reasons, but I stayed after I [...]
