Our son is a junior at Loyola New Orleans majoring in Music Industry and minoring in Jazz Studies and is living his best life, I must say. He was admitted to Berklee, Belmont, and Syracuse and chose Loyola. Honestly, we could not be happier with his college experience so far, outside of having to deal with the challenges of Covid. There are so many great performance opportunities in New Orleans and our son has definitely taken advantage of them. The faculty and staff seem very compassionate and committed to their students. And he’s made great friends along the way too, friends who support each other as artists - there’s a real sense of community. The other cool thing is that while his main passion is drumming, he’s also expanded and honed his skills in piano, bass and guitar. Additionally, and most important to us, we’ve seen the benefits of him receiving a well rounded Jesuit education where he’s challenged to become an adult who thinks critically and makes ethical decisions. Although Loyola is a Catholic University, the school is inclusive of all beliefs - we are not Catholic.
