DS is a rising junior in the Honors Program at Loyola University Maryland. Pros and cons from a parent’s perspective:
Pros:

small class sizes - allows you to know your professors

great dorms and Fitness & Aquatic Center

lots of community service opportunities

many clubs & easy to join

great study abroad

easy campus to manuever

sports scene was a con but is greatly improving with the 2012 lacrosse national championship and 2012 NCAA basketball tournament appearance
Cons:

some groups are formed early and can be “cliquey”

not as many “on campus” dining options as a large school

expensive, but good at meeting demonstated need and offers merit based scholarships

Overall, DS is enjoying his experience and looking forward to going abroad. Loyola is a great school and has a lot to offer.

Good luck with your college serarch.
