Loyola
Pro’s
-more of a college feel (+uptown area will be more fun)
-not a commuter school
-slightly tougher classes
-i would imagine that they’d have much better facilities

UNO
Pro’s
-more affordable
-slightly easier classes
-right on lake (while not as fun as uptown is still very pretty)

I think most of it should boil down to this. Walk around both campuses and see how you like the area around the colleges in addition to the campuses themselves. Loyola will ‘look better’ on paper but I think UNO is still fine and it won’t keep you out of med school or law school are whatever you are looking to do.

If you can get into Loyola, you can get into LSU. That isn’t true for Tulane. If you do well on the ACT you’ll be fine for TU. Louisiana students are AUTOMATICALLY accepted if they have a certain GPA and a 28 on the ACT. I’m guessing you’re not looking at either school. I tend to not recommend LSU for kids who are looking at Loyola and vice versa because they are so different. You seem to want a smaller school close to New Orleans. Best of Luck.
