Does anyone have a child at Loyola Chicago?

Most Catholics view Georgetown as too secular leaving only Holy Cross and Boston College as the only options for top students.

I don’t think so. They are so different and the types of students each draw are very different too. Case is more engineering types and you have to like an urban campus. John Carroll is known for the business school. You’ll get lots of clean cut, preppy Catholic types who are majoring in business. JCU campus is suburban and it’s a 15 minute ride to downtown Cleveland. The campus is really beautiful. It is smaller too, so the professors in your major know the students and are easily accessible.


Yes, the stereotypical Case student is a nerdy gamer, while John Carroll is for preppy kids. Case students as a whole are much less social than those from JCU too.

This is how I felt about Scranton. My son ultimately chose another college, but Scranton was his second choice.

SEC school popularity must be hurting lower level Catholics.

Mine goes them now and loves it. They offered him the most merit aid of any school and he was a B student in HS. I found through the admission process that there are lots of great schools for B students and they all offer merit money.

My DS is a senior at Santa Clara majoring in civil engineering. He has loved his time there. Loves the people, the sunny weather, access to professors. The engineering building is brand new, all glass. You can look into all the classrooms and see the interesting machinery. He got great internships sophomore and junior summers and was offered a full-time job after last summer’s internship.

BC, Georgetown, and Holy Cross are best.
