<p>Due to a call off of a wait list, we have a final decision to make. </p>
<p>Loyola College, MD or Providence College, RI. Does anyone out there have experience with both? It looks like Loyola is a higher-ranked school. About a 5K difference in price between the two. Not enough to let cost difference be a factor. Thanks for any guidance you can provide.</p>
<p>I have been to both schools and love them both. This is a very tough call to make. Make a list of the pros and cons. The weather may be a little nicer in Baltimore. It could come down to a coin toss.(only kidding).I think Providence may have a little more diversity. You can't go wrong at either place.
Students at both Colleges seem very happy. Providence may have more name recognition. This is basically a draw. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.</p>
<p>Never been to Providence, but Loyola has a great campus and teacher support</p>
<p>There is, however, a difference in required courses. Take a look at Providence's Western Civ requirement. How many class slots does it take up and how much room is it leaving for a student to explore many other areas?
Where can u do minor, etc...Would look very closely at this.</p>
<p>For anyone else considering these two schools for a business major: Providence is not yet accredited by AACSB while Loyola is accredited.</p>
<p>I grew up outside of Providence and my dad went to PC. I have now lived in the Baltimore/Washington area for 20 years. The weather is much nicer in Baltimore than Providence. Daughter will enter Loyola as freshman next week. For many reasons I'd recommend Loyola over PC, and Holy Cross for that matter too.</p>
