Loyola Open House

Loyola Open House

Our open house is NEXT week! Here at our Office at Undergraduate Admissions, we have been preparing for a long time to bring to you a wonderful experience of our university! If you are new to Loyola, I encourage you to at least come see the campus and see what we have to offer; with an event like this, you will be among thousands of people who share similar interests to find higher education, hence you are not alone!

At our open house, you can first expect to go on tours! Our tours are great because they are student-led and the tour routes cover a lot of the campus! We offer tours to Halas, our recreational center, labs for chemistry and biology, actual dorm halls, and campus ministry! These open house tours are great because you are led into places that general tours (that happen everyday) do not go to. Take advantage of this opportunity!

In addition to tours, there will be presentations throughout the day! These presentations range from financial aid to how to apply to what Loyola is all about! You’ll hear from actual staff and admissions counselors and potentially get the chance to meet with them one-on-one. These presentations will be scattered throughout our campus buildings, therefore you will be able to experience what is it like to be a student and get a better feel for the environment.

Student workers, such as myself, will be at this event! Personally, I believe that talking to an actual student and hearing their own opinions and experiences are quite useful and eye-opening. It is easier for the student to relate to the prospective student and tone their conversations in a way that is understandable to both him/her and their parents.

Loyola is in the the great city of Chicago! You have the opportunity to travel down to our Water Tower Campus and see everything there too, especially if you aspire to be a business major! Conveniently, the Water Tower campus is in the heart of Downtown Chicago, so feel free to explore the Magnificent Mile and do some tourist attractions there! There’s a lot to see and do!

Finally, coming to this event ultimately brings you reassurance. Regardless if you like the university or not, you will have a better idea and understanding of what Loyola University is all about, externally and internally. When applying, you will be better equipped to answer those questions and tailor them to our Jesuit values and other factors we look for in a LUC student. With respect to the city, you now know how close we are to the city and how urban life is connected!

As I have said, I HIGHLY encourage you all, regardless of your year in high school, to come register for this event next week, Saturday, October 21!
