Building your Budget
We encourage you to plan a smart budget for your time in Chicago and at Loyola University Chicago. Some things to consider in building your budget (in addition to the fees listed above) include:
- Any trips of excursions you would like to take (I-House + trips and excursions, weekends around the Chicago area, etc.)
- School Supplies (textbooks, notebooks, writing utensils, laptop computer, etc.)
- Additional spending money (meals taken outside of your meal plan, entertainment, souvenirs, etc.)
When preparing for your stay in Chicago it is important that you carefully plan out your budget and consider your banking options. PNC Bank and Chase Bank are reliable, local options for students wishing to open a U.S. bank account. International Student and Scholar Services can write a letter of support for opening a U.S. bank account if you need one. You can also consider using an international debit card through your bank in your home country. We recommend making the appropriate health insurance, budget, and banking accommodations as early as possible prior to your arrival in the U.S.
