“I chose Loyola because of the great Division I soccer program and excellent marketing major. When I arrived on campus, everyone at Loyola was so welcoming. All my professors have been so supportive, too—constantly exposing me to internship opportunities, offering advice, and answering questions. Here, I can be who I truly am and be accepted fully.”

Campus Involvement: “I am a member of the Investment Club and the Barbell Lifting Club. These organizations have provided me with opportunities to connect with like-minded peers, develop valuable skills, and engage in activities that complement my academic interests.”

“I would encourage an international student considering studying at Loyola to take advantage of the university’s supportive community, academic resources, and opportunities for involvement. Loyola offers a welcoming environment where students from diverse backgrounds can thrive academically, socially, and personally. The university’s commitment to social justice and service provides a meaningful context for learning and growth, and the vibrant city of Baltimore offers endless opportunities for exploration and discovery.”

Campus Involvement: Ignatius Scholars Program, Philosophy Club, Evergreens, Women’s Club Rugby, Study Abroad

"Watching the Evergreens work with first-year students and making our campus such a lively environment made me excited to apply to the program—and I was thrilled to be accepted! I've had the opportunity to meet and work with other student leaders with similar goals and strengths and to learn new skills that will help me not only with the Evergreen responsibilities but also in the future when I am working an internship or a job. I am beyond excited to meet the new first-year students I’ll get to mentor in the fall and to put those skills to practice!"

Class Year: Senior
Major: Communication
Campus Involvement: Club running, Boxing Club, Black Student Association (BSA), African Student Association board member

"During my senior year of high school, my college counselor had recommended Loyola University, so with my family, we drove on a weekend to tour the campus and received a warm welcome from student ambassadors and a complete tour of the facilities. I was raised as a Catholic and many of my family members received a very good education in Jesuit institutions in Africa. All this comforted me that it would be a good fit for me to continue my family legacy and values. By the time we left the campus, I was convinced that Loyola University Maryland was the right place to further my college education."

Class Year: Senior
Major/Minor: International Business and Marketing major, Communication minor

"My favorite thing about Baltimore is how diverse the city is and how many activities there are to do in the city. I like Baltimore’s location since it makes traveling easier and faster. For example, Washington, D.C., is only 45 minutes away by train, and you can be in New York City in just three hours by train."

Class Year: Junior
Major: Psychology
Campus Involvement: Black Student Association (BSA)

“I appreciate the close-knit community that is fostered here at Loyola. The university’s small class size and emphasis on collaboration create an environment in which students can build strong relationships with professors. My involvement with the Black Student Association has opened doors—I’ve been introduced to more people on campus and able to build friendships.”
