Hi, I'm considering applying to Loyola University Maryland and I'm a huge football fan. What's the football scene like there? Are there intramural teams or good local college teams to support nearby?
Hi! While Loyola University Maryland does not have an NCAA football team, there are still opportunities for football enthusiasts like yourself to get involved on campus. Intramural offerings can vary from year to year, but flag football is usually an option, which is a great way to stay active, bond with fellow football enthusiasts, and enjoy the game.
As far as college football in the surrounding area, Baltimore is home to several universities with established football programs, such as Towson University (NCAA Division I - Colonial Athletic Association) and Morgan State University (NCAA Division I - Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference). These nearby college teams offer the chance to attend games and support local schools with competitive football programs.
You might also want to check out the University of Maryland, College Park (NCAA Division I - Big Ten Conference), which is located about an hour away and has a more notable football program.
Additionally, Baltimore is home to the NFL's Baltimore Ravens, so if you're a fan of professional football, there's a great opportunity to attend games, tailgate, and immerse yourself in the local football community. I hope this information helps you with your college search!
