Hey everyone! I've been really liking what Loyola Maryland has to offer in terms of community and academics, but I want to expand my options. What are some colleges that have a similar feel—you know, mid-size, strong sense of community, maybe also Jesuit? Thanks a bunch!
Hey there! It's great that you've pinpointed what you're looking for in a college. If you're fond of the Jesuit tradition and want a similar feel to Loyola Maryland, consider exploring other colleges in the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities.
For instance, Fairfield University in Connecticut has a close-knit atmosphere and offers a liberal arts education grounded in Jesuit values. Similarly, Marquette University in Wisconsin provides a strong sense of community and emphasizes service and leadership. Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia might also appeal to you with its engaging campus life and Jesuit foundation.
Each of these schools shares the Jesuit ethos with Loyola Maryland, but they also have their own unique personalities, so I’d recommend visiting their campuses if possible, or attending virtual information sessions to get a true sense of their communities. Best of luck in your college search!
