required residency on campus
There’s 170+ student groups on campus, but if you can’t find the right one, you can always create your own.
Find healthy (and not-quite-as-healthy) food and snacks at the Damen Student Center.
Even on laundry days, your residence hall is the perfect place to hang out or meet new friends.
Throughout the year, events on campus bring students together (usually for some serious fun).
Be careful, the commute from class might take longer than expected on perfect spring days.
While Loyola can promise a great room, we cannot guarantee your roommate’s sports allegiances.
What are the rooms like?
Traditional
This is your typical setup with community bathrooms. We offer triple-, double-, and limited single-occupancy rooms.
Suite-style
Try something a little different! You'll have roommates and suitemates in these rooms—plus a shared bathroom.
Private
There's a private bathroom in your room. Sounds pretty unheard of, but we like that amenity and think you will too.
Where will you live?
First-year housing
Residence halls are where you'll meet your new friends and create some of your fondest memories. They also have some pretty nice amenities for you. All first-year halls have a/c, internet access, laundry rooms, study and social lounges, and a 24-hour reception desk. Learn more about our residency requirement.

"/>Water Tower Campus
With over 170 clubs and student-run organizations on campus, there's always someone to connect with, something to do, and somewhere to be. It's easy to meet new friends and make new connections inside—and outside—the classroom.
Why should you get involved?
Grace Runkel
Journalism
“Get involved early. It can be intimidating to go a club meeting all by yourself, but it’s always worth it.”
Nick Kimble
Political Science
“I think Loyola’s community represents the best of what Greek life was intended to be: a closely connected community driven by service.”
Devan Patel
Health Systems Management
“I have made many lifelong friends, met unique people from completely different backgrounds and so many have inspired me.”
