Is Loyola College Of Maryland Prep Heaven or Can Anyone fit in?

Question

I've heard that loyola college (from Studentsreview.com) is like preppy heaven and that no one can fit in who isnt preppy and white, i want more diverse opinions from students who go their because im not preppy im like a "Sean John Button Up or Polo and Timberland go watch a Great Film in a thriving city" type of guy. And Everything about the school seems great (academics, and business program) but what worries me is that i wont be able to make friends/ be unhappy over there.

Answer 1

I went to a similar school and have worked closely with students from Loyola. While there are a lot of prep style people, many of those don't care a rip for what style a person is. There is also a large enough population of diverse students from overseas and other parts of the nation. There are a lot of people from Maryland (duh) and Jersey (it just happens). For what you say is your style, you would likely be ok, especially since Baltimore has a lot of culture, both modern and traditional.

It is a predominantly Catholic school and THAT does flavor campus life a lot, and you may feel odd on Sundays when many of the students are going to mass. Not that other religions are not welcome, but you won't find much in the way of support on campus.

Answer 2

Try to arrange a campus visit. Ask the admissions department if you can spend the night with a student and attend classes with them the next day. Many colleges have a program like this in place. This way you'll get a feel for the campus and what the social life is like. You'll also be able to see what the level of the courses is.

If you go to all of the trouble to do this, then follow your instincts! If you feel like this is a place you could spend four very important years of your life, go for it. But if you have warning signs in your gut, don't go there.

Answer 3

YOU GET IN WERE U FIT IN .
