<p>Loyola has student bloggers, here is the link to the page:</p>
<p>[Student</a> Blogs \ Undergraduate Studies \ Loyola University Maryland](<a href=“http://www.loyola.edu/undergraduate/campus-life/student-blogs.aspx]Student”>Page Not Found - Loyola University Maryland) You & your son can get a student’s eye view of at least 5 or 6 students here.
My daughter is a soph there now & while the first few weeks of freshman year were rocky (lots of heavy drinking in her suite–not in the suite but staggering home from bars), she has different roommates now & is much happier with that aspect. </p>
<p>Lauren, plese read the post I just put on the page were you asked about Loyola. You do not have to be “stuck” going to bars (and in fact it is illegal if you are 18). There are lots of things to do at Loyola but as at any school you have to develop your network of friends—which you will do during the first couple of months of freshman year.</p>
<p>Take advantage of all the things the school offers as icebreakers & meet-people events—to give you a chance to at least be on greeting terms with as many people as possible. That is how you will begin to develop freindships. And don’t forget the people in your classes! That is where my daughter has found a lot of her friends, also by being intro’d to their friends.</p>
