<p>Son has finally committed to Loyola and we are very excited. He's a music major and had actually been leaning more toward TCU and Baldwin Wallace, the latter more so because of its reputation as the "hot" school for musical theater. He got accepted at LoyNO early on and even received a nice scholarship offer but couldn't decide.
I suggested we go for a more detailed visit so we spent spring break in New Orleans. We did tours, he sat in on a master class, had a private session with the head of the vocal dept, met students and absolutely fell in love with the school and the city! (As did we)
We'd love to hear from other Loyola parents or students</p>
<p>Welcome to the class of 2017! I’m an incoming junior at Loyola and I love going here! Please let me know if you have any questions about Loyola!</p>
<p>Our son will be starting in the fall double majoring in music/piano and in the film/digital media production area. Here’s a question for Scutrules: Is there a more active bboard for those with interests in LOYNO? CC has lots of very active boards but this doesn’t appear to be one of them.</p>
<p>************** has a few more posters than cc but I unfortunately haven’t found one that’s very active. Your son will probably find more luck joining the 2017 page on Facebook. The page has a lot of active members, both incoming students and current ones.</p>
<p>Likewise we were hoping for a site where parents could exchange info. My son joined the “class of 2017” Facebook group. It’s very active and informative for students. He’s already made plans to meet up with some classmates during orientation.
Speaking of which, we were looking forward to enjoying a few days in New Orleans while he’s on campus, but it looks like there are sessions for the parents too.</p>
