[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2 kids there and both are happy (business major and IT major.) Neither kid wanted a smaller school (nor got into UMD) and needed instate tuition so it was kind of default.

Pros:
Classes/professors seem to be strong and responsive.
Nice walkable area with restaurants/bars/etc
Affordable
Good shuttle system to get off campus
Lots of clubs/oncampus activities
Available oncampus housing if kid wants to stay all 4 years  (not guaranteed - but available.)
Lots of close by off campus apartments (some furnished/some not)

Cons:
It is definitely a suitcase school and the weekends can be dead until kids find others who stick around (however, my kids rarely come home.)

I would definitely recommend it

Anyone know if Loyola Maryland or Stevenson have more of a social scene on the weekends?[/quot

Loyola Maryland has more kids from out of state so less of a suitcase school. My son goes there. [/quote]

Does your son like Loyola Maryland? Why did he choose it? What other sxhools were comparable for him? On paper it looks right for my daughter…[/quote]

He loves it. He’s studying abroad now. He was looking for a Catholic school within 3-4 hrs of DC. St Joe’s in Philly is very much like Loyola. He also liked Manhattan College and Duquesne. Come visit! I’m an alum myself. [/quote]

Good to know[/quote]
