Loyola University New Orleans goes above and beyond its academics, with students calling out how 鈥渢he emphasis on social justice and community service really sets us apart鈥t鈥檚 about using our knowledge to make a positive impact.鈥� That speaks to 鈥渢he Jesuit values at the foundation of the school,鈥� which enrollees say produce 鈥渃aring, compassionate, serving individuals who will make their communities better.鈥� To that end, there are 鈥渁 lot of resources overall to make sure [you] as a whole person [are] taken care of,鈥� and students 鈥渇eel supported to succeed by this school.鈥� Alumni in particular are 鈥済enuinely engaged and accessible,鈥� and there is 鈥渁 strong culture of mentorship that encourages students to reach out, ask questions, and seek guidance.鈥� Another place where the school excels is with an 鈥渆xceptionally small cohort [that] allows for comprehensive, personalized support and an intimate learning environment.鈥� The accordingly small class sizes and the 鈥渄eeply invested鈥� professors ensure that 鈥渟tudents are challenged intellectually while being supported academically and personally.鈥� Many are said to be 鈥渁lways looking for undergraduate researchers and promoting opportunities to their students,鈥� and faculty 鈥渞eally tries to integrate professionalism into the classrooms.鈥� Teaching techniques are up to the professor: some 鈥渂ring guest stars into the lectures to shine a light on what they do,鈥� some incorporate 鈥渞esearch, field trips, heavy discussion, [and] seminars,鈥� and some focus on 鈥渃ommunity engagement, social justice, and the New Orleans environment.鈥� A satisfied student says, 鈥淭here is no uniform way a class is run at Loyola and that is how it should be.鈥�
