I've fallen really sick, unfortunately and I'm hoping to be better by Friday. Just in case I don't get better, is this event required or optional like the other Welcome Week events?
For an extremely long story short — for Loyola’s MSW (masters of social work) program we all need clinical hours, which is a nice term for an unpaid internship. Hours are needed fall/spring and I’m doing full time for about 2 years.
Okay context done. Over the past two now almost three months I’ve reached out to maybe 15-18 organizations, weekly follow ups now turning into daily, the one interview I did secure I was on the zoom for 30+ minutes and no one showed (I ended up getting rejected anyways lol). NO ONE IS RESPONDING!!!!!! About a month ago I turn to Loyola Admin (my direct point of contact, her higher up, her higher up, and the dean) all of whom have been less helpful and have caused significantly more stress.They all recommended multiple times to drop the class and push it out and enroll in another semester. Oh! How could I forget! They also gave me an outdated list of internship positions! At this point I’ve heard back from more places rejecting me/have hit capacity than I have for an actual fucking chance. Deadline to secure a position is 8/24, if nothing comes up I’ll need to drop.
I struggle with mental and thus physical health very frequently and I have stated multiple times to admin this is directly affecting my wellbeing and I’ve been seriously mentally ill. I’m at the point of potentially dropping the whole program. Like, breaking out in hives stressed. So I’m turning to this app now, PLEASE HELP
Hey, has anyone ever taken FNAR 115 Foundations of Photography and if so who did you take? I haven’t seen any rate my professor reviews on any of the teachers. Is it a hard class? I chose it as an elective and I am hoping to do well in the class but I am nervous lol.
Hello! I'm an incoming freshman, I was wondering what the process is if my boyfriend visits for a weekend or one of my guy friends? Are they allowed to stay in my dorm? I am a female if that wasn't obvious lol. If my roommate's OK with it, are they allowed to stay in my room? If so, what's the process? Do they need to show their ID? At my boyfriend school you're able to stay in their dorm with them, but he also is at a public school so I don't know if it's different. Thank you!!
For context I’m a senior & have began narrowing down my options as admissions begin to open..
I have 2 plans.
1 - go to c.c & transfer to a university to get my bsn after getting my adn
2 - go to university & get bsn straight thru
I recently toured Loyola Chicago & I have a few reasons why it’d maybe be for me..
-study abroad program
-it’s chicago
-it’s off the lake
-hospitals nearby (career advancements)
I am worried though that I might not make it in. My stats right now before the school year begins is about a 3.1 for gpa, I haven’t taken the ACT yet (need to figure that out), and tbh the only things saving me is my “experience” to say.
-dietary aide in a nursing facility
-taking a nursing assistant course, possibly planning on becoming a patient care tech
-blood donor ambassador volunteering position
I’m beyond on credits as well so plenty of this year will be make up work.
So do I decide to get thru my makeup credits, still apply, and go to a 4yr?
Or do my stats put me far from being apply worthy and I wait until I get my adn & transfer.
I’m a little confused on what day all the students are supposed to wear their Loyola shirts… is it on their move in day or like all day of welcome week orrrr???
Hi! I’m looking for advice on realistic transfer options.
I’m currently pursuing a B.S. in Biology and completed my first two years at a Canadian university. I will apply as a U.S. permanent resident.
I have 51 earned credits and a 66.33% cumulative average on the Canadian grading scale. I have two failed courses, Cell Biology and Statistics(Stats was later retaken and passed whereas I didn’t retake Cell Biology).
My long-term goal is medical school, so I’m looking for a reputable but affordable university where I can improve my GPA and complete my pre-med requirements. I’m mainly interested in Illinois/Chicago and nearby areas, but I’m open to other options.
What universities would I have a genuinely high chance of getting into with this profile?
Thanks!
Hi!!! I'm an incoming freshie moving in on the 16th!! I saw freshies were moving in untill the 18th so I was wondering what that first day is gonna be like, who else is moving in the same time as me and stuff!! So excited to get to know y'all 😋😋😋
Hii. I’m moving in on the 16th from out of state and I just wanted some advice on the necessary things I’ll have to bring, and what other people from out of state have brought in the past. Packing has become difficult for me since there are so many “essentials” that just aren’t realistically going to fit in a carry on and checked bag. Thank you for any advice :D
Hiya!!! Im an incoming freshman and would like to know if there’s a furry population at Loyola. I saw a post about it but it was a couple years old and filled with hate (hence the anonymous account)
Where do I find different ways to rent so it's cheaper? Also, do we need the textbooks for the first day of class? Bc I'm seeing some people say that you can check the library but I'm not sure if that's an option before classes.
I'm specifically looking for alternatives other than spending 300$ for the calculus 131 book :/ and other classes too like biol 111 and 101 and stuff anything helps thanks!!
Hi, I’m going into my senior year, and I just got back from a trip where I looked at a bunch of out of state colleges. I absolutely loved Loyola, and it is definitely my number one pick. The only problem is cost. I have a 34 ACT and 4.0 Unweighted GPA, so in terms of merit based scholarships on our tour they said it typically ranges from 20k to 34k and I think I could be on the high end of that. But that still leaves another 43k out of the 77k tuition including room and board. I know they have full rides, but from what I’ve seen those are very selective, and I didn’t do very many extra curriculars Junior year because of some mental health struggles I was having, so I don’t want those to be my only shot at getting in. My family makes too much money for financial aid, but my parents don’t want to pay a ton extra when I have cheaper options, which is fair. Does the school offer any additional scholarships that can get me down lower other than the super selective Ignation Scholarship?
He sent out a pretty aggressive email about you can't do this, you can't do that. If you leave during the class period and come back you get a zero for the day. (ok but if I need to pee is my bladder cutting my grade?) He says we have to write these 400-word essays in class, six of them, like during the class period. I have SAC accommodations for learning disabilities, do I have to go to the SAC office to write these now since I get more time for this kind of thing?
Is he really this tough or is this just to weed out the lazy students? I saw his rate my professor and it seems like if you just pay attention and do the work you're fine but idk. Most people only go on rate my prof to cry about bad grades.
Hello everyone!!
I’m an incoming freshman that will be majoring in Forensic Science :)
For the fall semester I will be taking CHEM 160! But I’ve heard that Loyola has a fairly awful chem department, and I’m honestly really nervous for the class.
The teacher I have is Felix Amankona-Diawuo. Can anyone who has taken his class tell me about his teaching style, what kind of assignments he gives, and how he grades? Is it truly that difficult to pass the class with an A if you put in the work?
Honestly, if you have ANY tips in general about surviving the Loyola chem department, I would be incredibly appreciative!
