Loyola is generally considered a great college and people in college are either from upper middle class or rich, but in my times in Loyola I could see all range of people everyone are given opportunities in here and many people are out of the state and I could find even people from other countries. Loyola has variety of options in cultural events and other events ie debates. There is always one or the other events happening in college thats gives you wider opportunity other than the academic The attendance rate is one of the drop back you need to have 80% that is pretty high I don’t know how my times fly in this college it feels like I joined yesterday but its already been 1 year
