"The people make this place great. Everyone cares about each other and wants students to succeed. Also, the facilities are amazing. It is so nice to have a dedicated medical school building that makes students feel like they have their own place on campus. Loyola is known for producing great clinicians and it is obvious why, they put a lot of time into preparing students for practicing medicine. Also, as an MD/PhD student, I have seen first hand the amazing basic science professors that are available- and the professors are almost always available to students. I am still amazed at how professors will go above and beyond to help out a student." | Report Response

"Loyola as a whole is somewhat lacking in ethnic diversity. Still, although there is a strong Catholic undercurrent throughout the school and the curriculum, it's not forced upon us. You can still find your own niche, whatever that may be." | Report Response

"High tuition, location kind of far from Chicago proper." | Report Response

"Whatever works best for the student. Books are also available from the library and the LRC on a first come first serve basis for those who don't want to buy a certain book but need it for a rotation." | Report Response

"Depends on the class and your study style. There are no true "required" books." | Report Response

"Different students have different opinions on this, often based on their future interests. The administration is pretty good about selecting books that really are helpful/can be used as a resource, but the best way to find out what is/isn't necessary is to ask the class or two above you during 1st year. There's a book sale where upper levels sell their books to incoming students, and most people decide what they will buy (or not) after talking it over with the students ahead of them." | Report Response
